Abstract
Home COVID-19 test kits are increasingly available in the United States, and efforts are underway to develop ones that are more accessible to people with disabilities. The primary objective of this research was to assess the usability and accessibility of existing home COVID-19 tests among people with disabilities. The aim is to better understand their needs and provide evidence for improved product design. A survey that included short-response questions about user experience with various home COVID-19 test kits was completed by 219 people with vision and mobility-related disabilities. A thematic analysis identified three overarching themes: Ease of Use, Privacy and Autonomy in Home COVID-19 Testing, and Recommendations for Improvement. The results of this study contribute to an increased understanding of how to design appropriate, accessible home COVID-19 test kits for people with disabilities.
