Project PROTECTS

Prospective Respiratory Outcomes from Tracking and Evaluating Community-based Testing (Project PROTECTS) is a two-year prospective cohort study that aims to build on the CHASING COVID Cohort Study, which has monitored SARS-CoV-2 infection rates and associated risk factors through questionnaires and at-home serological testing since March 2020. This new project will harness both at-home rapid antigen and PCR tests to investigate the incidence and symptom severity of several major respiratory viruses (SARS-CoV-2, RSV, and influenza A/B). It also aims to address gaps in our understanding of the short- and long-term effects of these viruses on daily life, in the context of existing vaccines, background immunity, and treatments.

Pursuing population gains through better implementation.

The CUNY Institute for Implementation Science in Population Health (ISPH) was founded on the notion that substantial improvements in population health can be efficiently achieved through better implementation of existing strategies, policies, and interventions across multiple sectors. With that in mind, we study how to translate and scale-up evidence-based interventions and policies within clinical and community settings in order to improve population health and reduce health disparities.
