Abstract Objectives Seroprevalence studies to assess the spread of SARS-CoV-2 infection in general population and subgroups are key for evaluating mitigation vaccination policies understanding disease both on national level comparison with international community. Methods Corona Immunitas is a research program coordinated, population-based, seroprevalence implemented by Swiss School Public Health (SSPH+). Over 28,340 participants, randomly selected age-stratified, some regional specificities...
Abstract Understanding the risk of infection from household- and community-exposures transmissibility asymptomatic infections is critical to SARS-CoV-2 control. Limited previous evidence based primarily on virologic testing, which disproportionately misses mild infections. Serologic measures are more likely capture all previously infected individuals. We apply household transmission models data a cross-sectional, household-based population serosurvey 4,534 people ≥5 years 2,267 households...
Abstract Background Serological assays detecting anti-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antibodies are being widely deployed in studies and clinical practice. However, the duration effectiveness of protection conferred by immune response remains to be assessed population-based samples. To estimate incidence newly acquired SARS-CoV-2 infections seropositive individuals as compared seronegative controls, we conducted a retrospective longitudinal matched study....
Abstract Limited data exist on SARS-CoV-2 infection rates across sectors and occupations, hindering our ability to make rational policy, including vaccination prioritization, protect workers limit spread. Here, we present results from SEROCoV-WORK + study, a serosurvey of recruited after the first wave COVID-19 pandemic in Geneva, Switzerland. We tested (May 18—September 18, 2020) 16 32 occupations for anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies. Of 10,513 participants, 1026 (9.8%) positive. The...
Aims: To assess SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence over the first epidemic wave in canton of Geneva, Switzerland, as well risk factors for infection and symptoms associated with IgG seropositivity. Methods: Between April June 2020, former participants a representative survey 20–74-year-old population Geneva were invited to participate study, along household members aged 5 years. Blood samples tested anti-SARS-CoV-2 immunoglobulin G. Questionnaires self-administered. We estimated Bayesian model...
Abstract Background Population-based serological surveys provide a means for assessing the immunologic landscape of community, without biases related to health-seeking behaviors and testing practices typically associated with rt-PCR testing. This study assesses SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence over first epidemic wave in Canton Geneva, Switzerland, as well biological socio-economic risk factors infection symptoms IgG seropositivity. Methods findings Between April 6 June 30, 2020, former...
The rapid improvement in mobile health technologies revolutionized what and how people can self-record manage data. This massive amount of information accumulated by these has potentially many applications beyond personal need, i.e. for public health. A challenge with collecting this data is to motivate share the benefit all. purpose study survey examine factors that may sharing We asked 447 participants four questions related motivation. Participants a chronic disease were concerned about...
(1) Mental health may modulate the perceived risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, it is unclear how psychological symptoms distort symptom perception COVID-19 and We assessed whether depressive predicted self-reported symptoms, independently serologically confirmed (2) Participants (aged 20-64) in Geneva (N = 576) Ticino 581) Swiss regions completed Patient Health Questionnaire before being tested for anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies recalled COVID-19-compatible on two occasions: April-July...
Implemented in Switzerland November 2016, Grippenet provides Internet-based participatory surveillance of influenza-like illness (ILI). The aim this research is to test the feasibility such a system and its ability detect risk factors assess ILI-related behaviors. Participants filled web-based socio-demographic behavioral questionnaire upon registration, weekly symptoms survey during influenza season. ILI incidence was calculated weekly, associated were analyzed at end each From 2016 May...

Abstract Background Despite evidence of the major impact housing carries on health, many individuals still live in unhealthy dwellings. In France, Domiscore has been proposed as a tool to assess quality dwellings with regard their health impact, allow for better detection unsafe and improve The aim this paper is present method used construct test its relevance usability. Methods grid, inspired by Nutriscore, consists 46 variables—such air quality, light or outdoor view. Each variable scored...
Erhebungen zur Seroprävalenz sind zentral Bestimmung des Bevölkerungsanteils, der tatsächlich mit SARS-CoV-2 infiziert wurde, über die Zahl offiziell bestätigten Fälle hinaus. Ein Beispiel aus dem Kanton Genf.
Les enquêtes de séroprévalence sont centrales pour déterminer la proportion d'une population qui a été infectée par le SARS-CoV-2, au-delà du nombre cas officiellement confirmé. Un exemple canton Genève.
