Contact tracing (CT) is an important, but resource-intensive tool to control outbreaks of communicable diseases. Under pandemic circumstances, public health services may not have sufficient resources at their disposal effectively facilitate CT. This be addressed by giving cases and contact persons more autonomy responsibility in the execution CT professionals, through digital support tools (DCTS-tools). However, application this approach has yet been systematically investigated from...
Abstract Background Contact tracing (CT) is a key strategy when dealing with outbreaks of infectious diseases such as COVID-19. The scale the COVID-19 pandemic has often left public health professionals (PHPs), who are responsible for execution CT, unable to keep up rapid and largescale spread virus. To enhance or support its execution, potentially lower workload PHPs, citizens may be more actively involved in CT-tasks that commonly executed by PHPs (referred ‘self-led CT’). There limited...
Contact tracing (CT) can be a resource intensive task for public health services. To alleviate their workload and potentially accelerate the CT-process, professionals (PHPs) may transfer some tasks in identification, notification, monitoring of contacts to cases themselves, using ‘digital contact support tools’ (DCTS-tools). In this study, we aimed identify determinants PHPs’ intention use DCTS-tools. Between February April 2022, performed cross-sectional online questionnaire study among...
