  • Seigler et al. observed that participants surveyed using social media (n=1,435) were most willing to test for SARS-CoV-2 infection with a home saliva specimen (92%), followed by home swab (88%), drive-through swab (71%), and clinic-collected swab (60%). Additionally, 68% of participants indicated they would be more likely to get tested if there was a home testing option.
