On a population level, by conducting seroprevalence surveys through widespread random sampling of the general public, and by adjusting for the sensitivity and specificity characteristics of the LFIA used, it is possible to estimate the levels of past infection with SARS-CoV-2 in the community (3) . Usability research on HIV selftesting has generally found good acceptability, the devices easy to use and high validity in interpretation of self-reported test results (7) (8) (9) . To mitigate against this, and given the scientific Our study is original because focusing on the acceptability and usability of LFIAs for self-testing for SARS-CoV-2 antibody in a home-based setting has not been done at such scale in the general population. Overall, our study has demonstrated that home-based self-testing LFIAs for use in large communitybased seroprevalence surveys of SARS-CoV-2 antibody are both acceptable and feasible.	./cache/cord-325455-e464idc0.txt	./txt/cord-325455-e464idc0.txt
