Time:

Location:Richards Hall - Room 254
Session Abstract
Wastewater-based surveillance (WBS) has rapidly developed as a complementary epidemiological tool in the management of respiratory infectious diseases. At the same time application and interest in this technique potentially outpaced capacity building surrounding the engagement and partnership with the surveilled communities. However, this community connection is critical for the ongoing success and acceptance of WBS and is highlighted when reviewing concerns for implementation. Therefore, this workshop will provide a forum for AEESP attendees to broadly discuss the application of WBS through an ethical lens to refresh and strengthen interest in establishing and maintaining community engagement.
