Summary

Latinx communities are disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, with Spanish-speaking Latinx communities carrying even heavier burdens of infection, hospitalization, and mortality. Major barriers to COVID-19 testing and vaccination exist, and a profound need remains to understand and address the social, ethical, and behavioral implications (SEBI) of COVID-19 testing and vaccination within Latinx communities. Our community-academic partnership proposes a rigorous mixed-methods, community-based participatory research study to better understand the SEBI of COVID-19 testing and vaccination and to refine and test a novel and culturally congruent intervention that integrates two evidenced-based strategies - peer navigation and mHealth - to increase COVID-19 testing and vaccination within Spanish-speaking Latinx communities.

Detailed description

A profound need remains to understand the social, ethical, and behavioral implications (SEBI) of COVID-19 testing and vaccination interventions within Spanish-speaking Latinx communities. The proposal is a conceptually integrated community-based participatory research (CBPR) study that includes systematic data collection on the multilevel factors that influence COVID-19 testing and vaccination; refinement of an efficacious intervention that uses complementary theory-based strategies (i.e., peer navigation and mHealth); intervention implementation and evaluation using a longitudinal group-randomized trial design; and dissemination of findings.
