H3Africa PHWG Data Collection Toolkit - Covid-19 v1.0
Description
The COVID-19 module can be used to collect essential phenotypes associated with COVID-19 and MISC-related research, including: COVID-19 Exposure History; Symptoms and Signs; Comorbidities; COVID-19 Diagnoses and Treatments. The module is subdivided into core phenotypes (phenotypes incorporated from the H3Africa Standard) and COVID-19 & MISC-specific phenotypes.
Administration
The phenotype protocols contained in the module range from Interviewer/Self-administered questionnaires to clinically-administered and bioassay/lab-based assessments. The module is applicable to human participants of all life stages, though some phenotype protocols are age-specific. For more information on administration of the module, see the module guideline.
