Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of a culturally sensitive COVID-19 testing intervention designed for Francophone (French speaking) African Born Immigrants (FABI) . The main question this study aims to answer is whether or not a a culturally sensitive COVID-19 educational pamphlet added to the home-based test will improve testing rates compared to receiving a standard home-based test alone.

Detailed description

Upon consenting, all participants will receive basic COVID-19 testing instructions from trained bilingual/bicultural Francophone African Born Immigrant (FABI) Community Health Workers (CHW's). Next, participants will be randomly assigned to either the control or intervention study arms. In the control condition (n=50) participants will receive a standard COVID-19 home-based test kit. In contrast, those assigned to the intervention condition (n=50) will receive the same COVID-19 home-based test kit plus a FABI culturally sensitive COVID-19 educational pamphlet. Lastly, (n=10) participants from each arm will be randomly selected to participate in qualitative interviews to assess their experiences with CHWs and their test kit.
