ARMOR Study: COVID-19 Seroprevalence Among Healthcare Workers

SARS-CoV-2 Seroprevalence Among Healthcare Workers: ARMOR Study Demonstration Project


Sponsor

Columbia University

Enrollment

1,000 participants

Start Date

Apr 18, 2020

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has spread all around the world and testing has posed a challenge globally. Health care providers are highly exposed and are an important group to test. On top of these concerns, health care workers are also stressed by the needs on responders in the COVID-19 crisis. The investigators will look at different ways to measure how common COVID-19 is among health care workers, how common is the presence of antibodies by serological tests (also known as serostatus). The investigators will describe health worker mental and emotional well-being and their coping strategies in their institutional settings. Lastly, the investigators will describe how knowing serostatus can affect individuals' mental and emotional well-being and how to cope in the midst of the COVID-19 response. This will help to how to better test and help healthcare workers in the COVID-19 pandemic and prepare for possible future outbreaks.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

The ARMOR study is looking at how many healthcare workers at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital were exposed to and developed antibodies against COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2). This type of study is called a seroprevalence study — it measures the proportion of people in a group who have antibodies indicating past infection. Understanding how widespread COVID-19 exposure was among hospital staff can help improve infection control policies and protect healthcare workers in future outbreaks. Participants in this study provided blood samples to be tested for COVID-19 antibodies. The results help track real-world exposure rates among frontline workers, who faced particularly high risk during the pandemic.
