Summary

The goal of this study is to assess how community-led group discussions about health-related topics may alter beliefs and intentions regarding healthcare recommendations, such as COVID-19 testing and vaccination.

Detailed description

Eligible participants were randomized to intervention or control group. Intervention group participants met virtually with other community member participants in small discussion groups once a week for one hour over the course of 12 weeks. The online discussion groups were led by peer mentor facilitators and supported by a research team member. Discussion topics included current events, COVID-19, and other health related topics. Control group participants did not meet in weekly discussion groups. At approximately the 0 month, 3 month, and 6 month time points, all participants answered online surveys about health related topics. At the 3 month and 6 month time points, all participants were also asked to self-administer a COVID-19 test that investigators provide. Finally, around the fourth month, intervention group participants were invited to an online feedback session with the research team about participants' experiences in the study.
