Access to and utilisation of COVID-19 antigen rapid diagnostic tests (Ag-RDTs) among the general population in Phnom Penh: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Globally, there is a lack of evidence regarding access to and utilisation of antigen rapid diagnostic tests (Ag-RDTs). This might hinder public health interventions to increase testing. We conducted a survey to understand access to and utilisation of COVID-19 Ag-RDT among residents in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

Design

This is a representative household survey using linear regression models with random effects to account for clustering and a logistic model with random effects to assess factors associated with Ag-RDT access.

Setting

We conducted the study in 10 villages in Phnom Penh between August and mid-September 2022.

Participants

We enrolled one member per household (n=280), aged between 18 and 65 years.

Outcome measures
