PREDICT: A PBRN Feasibility Study on COVID-19 Screening in Dental Practice
Completed
Conditions studied: COVID-19 Infection
In brief
The study team will conduct a feasibility study to develop and test out procedures for improved triage and COVID-19 testing in dental practices to increase safety and perceptions of the safety of Dental Health Care Workers (DHCW) and their patients. DHCWs in offices with Practice-Based Regional Network (PBRN) members and their patients will be recruited to participate in one of two protocols. The first, point-of-care (POC), will test out procedures for point-of-care SARS-CoV-2 antigen testing in the dental office along with enhanced triage using pulse oximeters. The second, laboratory (LAB), will test out procedures for a saliva-based laboratory SARS-CoV-2 viral test along with enhanced triage. The feasibility of implementing COVID-related testing and enhanced triage procedures in the dental setting will provide preliminary data to inform a larger network-wide study grant application.
