Epidemiology Grand Rounds | The Importance of Sampling: Estimating the Fraction of the Population Who Have Experienced Prior COVID-19 Infection

Date: 
May 8, 2020
Time: 
9:30 - 11 am
Place:

Antibody tests are being used to estimate the fraction of the population who have experienced prior COVID-19 infection. However, without sound sampling techniques, the conclusions we can draw from such studies are limited. In this Grand Rounds, students, staff and faculty from the Department of Epidemiology & Biostatistics will discuss recent studies of antibody seroprevalence, why sampling matters and best practices moving forward.
