“Estimating the prevalence of past and current COVID-19 in Ohio”
In July 2020, we collected nasopharyngeal swabs and blood samples from 727 randomly-sampled, English- and Spanish-speaking adults in Ohio. We used Bayesian latent class models with multilevel regression and poststratification to calculate the adjusted prevalence of current and past COVID-19. We also captured data on past COVID-19 testing and self-reported COVID-19 mitigation strategies such as masking and social distancing. The presentation will present the results from this statewide study as well as the unique challenges we faced planning and implementing a household survey during a pandemic.
