We conducted an online survey to assess patient willingness to use the following SARS-CoV-2 testing modalities for clinical care: home-based specimen collection, drive-through testing, and clinic-based testing. Across a diverse sample of 1,435 participants, one-third more persons reported that they would be willing to collect specimens at home for SARS-CoV-2 testing if they experienced illness, compared to clinic-based testing. ./cache/cord-260257-phmd0u6d.txt ./txt/cord-260257-phmd0u6d.txt
