How to Increase Awareness and Uptake in Antibody Testing in Flint  

"We are one of the few using this salivary testing tool to check for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. It’s less invasive, quicker, more convenient, and safer for the research team,"

A team of MSU Public Health researchers, including MPH alumni Lindsey Rose and 
Leah Maschino, seeks answers to understand the barriers to COVID-19 antibody testing and vaccinations in Flint. The team collects data to understand which public health communication strategies are most effective. Volunteers from the Flint Registry drive up to a “root beer stand-style” testing station; MSU will compare antibody status to COVID-19 exposure and vaccination rates among Flint residents using a salivary testing tool.
