Abstract

Phase 2 of the DHSC-funded Southampton pilot programme for use of saliva-based LAMP testing in asymptomatic populations included 'piloting systems for application of regular testing in schools serving vulnerable communities and other major mixing events in the education sector'. As part of this, highly successful pilot education and engagement materials for both primary and secondary school students have been designed and delivered in the schools by our LifeLab scientific literacy team. The Phase 2 Educational Materials (P2EM) programme enables us to undertake development and evaluation of these pilot education materials, to help shape and co-create a COVID-19 focussed science for health literacy programme for primary and secondary school
