FAQ

I received this letter in the mail concerning this project. What is it about?

After a yearlong study conducted in collaboration with SC Strong during 2020-2021 and over 10,000 survey participants, we learned the most common barriers to SARS-CoV-2 testing in SC were inconvenient times and dates, discomfort, and lack of knowledge of where to go to get tested. This project, ALL-IN SC, is a study aimed to assess the accuracy and usefulness of self-collection testing for COVID-19 and future health concerns. More detailed information can be found on our website: allin-sc.org.
