non-contacts
Not in addressbook
Non-contacts refers to people with whom one has no direct communication or relationship, often used in contexts like contact tracing during disease outbreaks or in studies comparing those exposed to a condition versus those who weren't.
In sports, particularly rugby and American football, non-contacts may describe injuries that occur without collision with another player: He suffered a non-contact knee injury during practice.
The term appears in research and administrative contexts where distinguishing between contacted and uncontacted individuals matters.
