This one-hour presentation discusses how after its discovery, the COVID-19 coronavirus was sequenced extremely rapidly, and multiple RT-PCR assays were quickly developed and the details shared for use by laboratories worldwide. The unprecedented need for testing resulted in a severe shortage of all reagents and supplies, including collection swabs, transport media, extraction kits, and RT-PCR enzyme mixtures. As we develop an algorithm to move out of stay-at-home lockdown, there is a scramble to develop a high-quality serological assay that would detect neutralizing antibodies. (Video or Multimedia)

Source: Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Center for Pediatric Traumatic Stress. Published: 4/22/2020. The COVID-19 Exposure and Family Impact Survey (CEFIS) was developed using a rapid iterative process in late March/early April 2020. At that time, the COVID-19 pandemic was impacting most, if not all, American families to some extent. Communities were coming under "stay at home" orders, schools were closing, and health and financial implications of the COVID-19 pandemic were unfolding. Various aspects of the COVID epidemic are likely to impact families and may influence the findings of research in pediatric health. CEFIS was designed to be used in ongoing and new studies where COVID-19 may influence study outcomes. It conceptualizes exposure to potentially traumatic aspects of COVID-19 and assesses the impact of the pandemic on the family. CEFIS should be completed by caregivers. Each caregiver can complete CEFIS. It is available in English and Spanish.

Through the collection of nationally representative information on the scope and nature of technology-facilitated abuse (both victimization and perpetration), survivors' help-seeking and access to services, and unmet needs, this study is designed to support the development of policies, protocols, programs, and services that limit the incidence of technology-facilitated abuse and strengthen law enforcement and victim services program responses to victimization with scientific data. The CARI study will be fielded in the summer of 2020, with longitudinal data collection planned. Given the current conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, items measuring interpersonal conflict and abuse in domestic settings have been prepared for the field. Basic study parameters (planned recruitment/administration summer 2020): Sociodemographics: Nationally representative sampling frame (http://amerispeak.norc.org) with oversamples of female, Black, and Hispanic respondents ages 18-35: Male Female Total White/other 920 1,300 2,220 Black 350 540 890 Hispanic 350 540 890 Total 1,620 2,380 3,500 Modality: AmeriSpeak respondents are free to specify their modality preference on each survey. NORC's data collection system supports both web and phone modes (optimized presentation for smartphone respondents). Among younger adults, the vast majority choose to respond via web modality. Design: Designed for longitudinal data collection. Currently funded for cross-sectional data collection.
