| Measures/outcomes | Definition | ||
| Measuresa |

|
|
True positive | Bluetooth-identified contact that is confirmed by the participant | |

|
True negative | No contacts detected, confirmed by the participant | |

|
False positive | Bluetooth-identified contact denied by the participant | |
|
|
False negative | Participant-recalled contact that was not detected by Bluetooth | |

Sensitivity | True positive/(true positive + false negative) | |

Specificity | True negative/(true negative + false positive) | |
a15 minutes of interaction within 6 feet required to meet the definition of “close contact.” In addition to confirming/denying each close contact interaction, participants from the tag pilot were asked to comment on the underestimation or overestimation of the recorded contact duration. We allowed a 5-minute window of error, within which a contact’s measurement type could be altered. For example, a contact detected for 15-19 minutes would be designated as a false positive if the study participant noted that the interaction length was overestimated, while a contact detected for 10-14 minutes would be designated as a false negative if the study participant noted that the interaction length was underestimated.
