Abstract

Background: People experiencing homelessness (PEH) are underrepresented in public health and clinical research. Study methods that can improve participation by this group are needed.

Methods: In late 2022, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention conducted an mpox serological survey using venipuncture among PEH in San Francisco, California. Blood collection by a minimally invasive device was offered if venipuncture was not possible or preferred. Participants who had a successful blood draw using the device were asked about device acceptability.

Results: Of the 209 successful blood collections, 137 (66%) were among participants who underwent venipuncture and 72 (34%) were among participants who used the device. Use of the device increased overall blood collection participation by 53%. Participants reported high acceptability and preference for the device over venipuncture.

Conclusions: Minimally invasive blood collection devices may increase participation and representation of PEH in serosurveys.

为在无家可归者中进行 Mpox 血清调查而进行微创采血。

背景：无家可归者（PEH）在公共卫生和临床研究中的代表性不足。我们需要能提高这一群体参与度的研究方法：2022 年末，美国疾病控制与预防中心在加利福尼亚州旧金山对无家可归者进行了一次 mpox 血清学调查。如果无法进行静脉穿刺或不喜欢静脉穿刺，则可使用微创设备采血。对使用该设备成功采血的参与者进行了关于设备可接受性的询问：在 209 次成功采血中，137 人（66%）进行了静脉穿刺，72 人（34%）使用了该设备。该设备的使用使参与采血的总人数增加了 53%。与静脉穿刺相比，参与者对该设备的接受度和偏好度较高：微创采血设备可提高血清调查中 PEH 的参与度和代表性。
