The SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused workplaces and campuses to close or shift many people to remote work. To safely reopen, surveillance testing is needed to help to identify asymptomatic and presymptomatic cases., We conducted a clinical trial to rapidly implement and scale a saliva-based method for COVID-19 surveillance testing. However, participation in clinical trials is often suboptimal. In prior work,, opt-out framed recruitment strategies have shown promise for increasing program enrollment; this approach may leverage status quo bias. In this randomized clinical trial, we tested the effect of an opt-out framed recruitment strategy compared with a conventional opt-in strategy on enrollment and initial adherence to a COVID-19 testing program.
