METHODS: This was a cross-sectional survey study based on the World Health Organization population-based seroepidemiological investigational protocol for SARS-CoV-2 conducted between April 29, 2020, and May 8, 2020, examining SARS-CoV-2 antibody prevalence among 790 university students in Los Angeles, CA. With the goal of having the sample distributions match distributions in the population, these strata were selected based on internal university data, indicating that females are more likely to participate in health-related research projects compared with males, and fewer undergraduates (36.4%) spent the end of the Spring 2020 semester in Los Angeles relative to graduate students (76.5%). Seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in a Los Angeles university student population as of May 8, 2020, was estimated to be 4.0%. ./cache/cord-297842-hkr1wm3k.txt ./txt/cord-297842-hkr1wm3k.txt
