Acceptability of Covid-19 self-testing among social and clinical vulnerable populations using a decentralized testing model in Abuja, Nigeria; A mixed methods analysis of an implementation study
Diagnostic testing is critical during infectious disease outbreaks, enabling timely patient management and isolation to reduce transmission and mortality. During the COVID-19 outbreak in Nigeria, testing rates remained low due to limited access to centralized RT-PCR sites. To expand access, the National COVID-19 Testing Strategy (January 2021) introduced decentralized self-testing models targeting vulnerable populations. This study assessed the u…
Provider costs of professional Covid-19 rapid antigen testing in low-income settings
World Health Organization recommends antigen rapid diagnostic tests (RDT) as point of care tests for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in suspected outbreaks when polymerase-chain-reaction testing is not accessible; to trace the extent of outbreaks; and in areas with widespread community transmission. Annual economic costs were estimated for professional SARS-CoV-2 testing as part of several COVID-19 testing use cases i…
Understanding the acceptability of Covid-19 antigen rapid diagnostic tests
Accessible and timely diagnostic testing was essential during the COVID-19 pandemic to control the virus’s spread and mitigate severe outcomes. However, real-time polymerase chain reaction tests, although sensitive incur high costs and prolonged turnaround times, and face implementation challenges in many resource-constrained settings. Antigen rapid diagnostic tests (Ag-RDT), which can be administered either by providers or as self-tests, are acc…
Performance evaluation of Sars-CoV-2 rapid diagnostic tests in Nigeria
The COVID-19 pandemic challenged health systems globally. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is the gold standard for detecting the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in clinical samples. Rapid diagnostic test (RDT) kits for COVID-19 have been widely used in Nigeria. This has greatly improved test turnover rates and significantly decreased the high technical demands of RT-PCR. However, there is currently no nationally representative eva…
