Pre-COVID-19 pandemic health-related behaviours in children (2018–2020) and association with being tested for SARS-CoV-2 and testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 (2020–2021): a retrospective cohort study using survey data linked with routine health data in Wales, UK

New study identifies link between parental health literacy and COVID-19 test results in children SwanseaUni BMJ_Open

Our findings also show an area-level social gradient. Those living in the least deprived areas were less likely to test positive for SARS-CoV-2 compared with the most deprived , which may reflect deprivation-related exposure patterns to SARS-CoV-2. Indeed, research conducted using the WIMD and English area-level deprivation indicators found adults living in the most deprived areas demonstrated differential exposures to SARS-CoV-2.

This study involves human participants and was approved by the Swansea University Medical School Research Ethics Committee . Participants gave informed consent to participate in the study before taking part.The authors would like to thank all the participating primary schools and pupils who took part in this study.
