RESEARCH SURVEY
Stopping the Spread: Community Consultation for a Pre-Interview Survey to Provide Faster, Easier COVID-19 Contact Tracing for South Australians
South Australia is well ahead of the pack when it comes to effective contact tracing of positive case of COVID-19 in our community. Getting on top of a person’s close contacts quickly is essential to controlling the virus, and this demands highly skilled public health officials undertaking detailed interviews with each person who tests positive in our State as soon as possible.
Two UniSA researchers want to know what the community thinks about how we can be as prepared as possible for contact tracing. How quickly and easily would you be able to remember your contacts and whereabouts over the last 14 days? Would you be willing to keep a ‘personal contact diary’ that you fill out at the time of COVID-19 testing and use to help you answer the questions of the contact tracers if you needed to?
Here's a video of Dr Moulds and Dr Corsini discussing the project - Video
