The tables show the Limit of Detection (LoD) of more than 55 authorized molecular diagnostic COVID-19 tests against a standardized sample panel provided by the FDA. The FDA provided these standardized samples, known as a reference panel, to test developers who are required to assess their test’s performance against this panel (or other FDA-recommended reference materials) as a condition of their Emergency Use Authorization (EUA).

Source: University of Michigan. Published: 9/11/2020. As a longitudinal study with rich measurement across a large number of social, health, and economic domains, the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) was designed to capture the impact of unexpected societal events, even without additional measurement specific to the event. To complement these longitudinal measures, HRS has developed several areas of content specifically in response to the coronavirus pandemic designed to dovetail with existing assessment. Information on lifestyle and psychosocial functioning is collected through a self-administered questionnaire (SAQ). Additional questions in the psychosocial SAQ were added to the 2020 wave of data collection. These questions obtain information on lifestyle, personal relationships, work, and feelings in response to the pandemic. These questions cover five subtopics: 1) pandemic-specific concerns related to health, finances, friends and family, and the future; 2) changes in social contact with family and friends, including social support given and received and changes in relationship quality; 3) impact on activities including pandemic-specific behaviors such as wearing a mask, washing hands, social distancing, and using hand sanitizer; 4) additional questions about work status that indicate if the respondent was an essential worker and whether or not they could work at home during the pandemic; and 5) emotional well-being, resilience, and coping during the pandemic. Population: Adults only Length: 77 questions Mode of Administration: Online (e.g., computer-assisted interview) Administered by: Professional Interviewer Self Administered Language(s): English (PDF)
