What this trial studies
This observational study aims to assess the prevalence of COVID-19 antibodies among healthcare workers at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. It will utilize both quantitative and qualitative serological assays to measure seroprevalence and evaluate the mental and emotional well-being of these workers. The study will also explore how knowledge of their serostatus impacts their coping strategies and overall psychosocial health during the pandemic. The findings are intended to improve testing protocols and support systems for healthcare workers facing COVID-19 challenges.

Not a fit: Patients who are younger than 18 years or those who are mentally or physically unable to complete study requirements may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the mental health support and testing strategies for healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown success in assessing seroprevalence and mental health impacts among healthcare workers during the pandemic, indicating that this approach is both relevant and necessary.
