NCT ID: NCT05668078 Completed - School Absenteeism Clinical Trials

Effectiveness of Rapid Antigen Testing of Students for COVID-19 in Reducing Absences From Schools in Bangladesh

Start date: May 18, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this trial is to evaluate the impact of different testing strategies with Rapid Antigen Testing (RAT) on reduction of school absences. RATs are relatively inexpensive, fast, and can be performed at the point of care. Provision of testing in schools will allow rapid identification and isolation of individuals infected with Covid-19. This will likely reduce COVID-19 transmission, as well as allow symptomatic COVID-19 negative students to return to classroom, avoiding the 10-days isolation period. If proven successful, the lessons from this study can be translated to schools in similar settings. While several testing strategies have been proposed and evaluated in developed countries, no studies have evaluated the role of testing for safe operation of schools or reducing absenteeism in developing country contexts.The lessons learned from this study is likely to inform government policy regarding the provision of testing in school. Study design: Cluster randomized trial School types: Three types based on testing: - Intervention school-1: Test all symptomatic students, teachers, and support staff ; and track symptoms and absenteeism - Intervention school-2: Test all students, teachers, and support staff every 3 days, irrespective of symptoms (also test whenever develops symptoms) and track symptoms and absenteeism - Control school: Only track the students for symptom notification and absenteeism

Back2School - CBT Intervention for School Absenteeism

B2S
Start date: August 25, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The main objective of this study is to examine the efficacy of a new psychological intervention, called Back2School, in helping youths with problematic school absenteeism to return to school. Furthermore, the study will examine how well this program fares against the treatment or interventions that are usually given to youths with school absenteeism (treatment as usual or TAU). Based on previous studies we hypothesize that the Back2School intervention will be better at improving levels of school attendance as compared with treatment as usual (TAU).
