Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:We acknowledge several limitations. First, full details of some exposures were limited to ensure our survey was brief. For example, we did not ask about specific occupations, experience level, type of PPE used (e.g. surgical masks, respirators, or powered air purifying respirators), receipt of PPE training (e.g. mask fit-testing or donning and doffing), frequency of exposure to patients with COVID-19 infection or aerosolizing procedures (e.g. endoscopy or intubation). Second, our findings are based on self-report. However, alternative exposure measures, such as PPE supply, or assessment of additional outcomes in such a large cohort would have been difficult to collect in a timely manner within the context of a fast-moving pandemic. In future studies, linkage to other sources (e.g. electronic health records) may be possible. Third, our cohort is not a random sampling of the population. Although this limitation is inherent to any study requiring voluntary provision of health information, we acknowledge that data collection through smartphone adoption has comparatively lower penetrance among certain socioeconomic groups, as well as older adults, despite being used by 81% of the U.S. adult population.30 In future studies, we plan more targeted outreach of underrepresented populations, as well as additional collection instruments (web or phone surveys) that may be more accessible. Our primary outcome was based on the report of a positive COVID-19 test. During the study period, thi...
