    Snippet: Previous self-swab studies for ARI/ILI have demonstrated their feasibility. 1-3 However, few have been performed in the USA, and the use of self-swabs in a lowincome, minority, urban population has not been assessed. Understanding the feasibility and validity of nasal self-swabs in this population is important.

    Document: Previous self-swab studies for ARI/ILI have demonstrated their feasibility. 1-3 However, few have been performed in the USA, and the use of self-swabs in a lowincome, minority, urban population has not been assessed. Understanding the feasibility and validity of nasal self-swabs in this population is important. First, it is a population at high risk for infection and transmission due to overcrowding. 4, 5 Second, being lowincome, Latino, publicly insured, foreign born, and having a lower education level are factors associated with lower likelihood of having a primary health care provider and seeking care for illness. 6, 7 Therefore, the objective of this pilot study was to assess the feasibility and validity of unsupervised self-and/or parental-swabbing for children in a low-income, urban minority population.
