It’s been an unusual and challenging start to the academic year for all of us and colleagues evaluating the latest phase of the Southampton COVID-19 Testing Programme are keen to talk to students and staff to understand current perceptions about coronavirus testing.
Regular testing can help us keep campus life as safe as possible this autumn, so we want to make it easy for you to take part in our groundbreaking programme.
The evaluation team are keen to talk to:
- People who are participating in the saliva testing programme
- People who have decided not to opt in to the programme
- People who do not feel they have had an opportunity to opt in to the programme
The team will be organising telephone interviews and online focus groups this month. If you would like to take part, please submit your details by clicking the green button on the Southampton City Council website (towards the bottom of the page). The team will offer all participants a £20 voucher as a thank you for taking part.
If you would like to share feedback on the programme, but would prefer not to provide an interview or take part in a focus group, you can still share your experiences and comments through the online form.
It’s not too late to sign up for regular saliva testing. If you’re a student, please visit www.southampton.gov.uk/covid19students and click on the green opt in button. If you’re a member of staff, please follow the instructions in your invitation email to see if you are eligible.
