Kianersi S, Ludema C, Macy JT, et al. - Researchers conducted the study for estimating the relationships between demographic factors and social behaviors and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) seropositivity and self-reported positive SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic test. The authors randomly sampled Indiana University Bloomington undergraduate students in September 2020. Participants filled out an online cross-sectional survey about their demographics, SARS-CoV-2 testing history, relationship status, and risk behaviors. Participants were also tested for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies at a later appointment using a fingerstick procedure and a SARS-CoV-2 IgM/IgG rapid assay kit. The serological testing analysis included 1,076 students, and the SARS-CoV-2 infection history analysis included 1,239 students. Data reported that the prevalence of self-reported SARS-CoV-2 infection history was 10.3%. The findings could be utilized to inform SARS-CoV-2 preventive and control initiatives on college and university campuses in the United States.
