ReSET Aim 1a: Restarting Safe Education and Testing for Children With Medical Complexity - Feasibility of In-home Cohort COVID-19 Testing Strategies, and Associations With CMC Parent Perceptions About In-person School Attendance

The purpose of this research study is to learn about the factors parents consider when deciding whether their child will go to school in-person or attend from home. Investigators are also interested in learning whether access to in-home COVID testing is of value to parents and also whether it affects decision-making about returning to school. This study is being done at UW-Madison in partnership between the Department of Pediatrics and the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering. A total of 50 caregivers (plus their children with medical complexity) will participate in this study. Additionally, 20 caregivers involved in the study may also be invited to participate in a one-hour, virtual visit in which the caregiver demonstrates and discusses how they perform in-home COVID testing with their child. The results of the study may help researchers advance their understanding of in-home testing strategies for children with medical complexity.
