Brief Summary

This proposal seeks to enhance acceptability and uptake of COVID-19 testing and vaccination to engage African American and Latinx public housing residents in South Los Angeles. Given the multiple disparities experienced by public housing residents, the investigators will utilize a theoretically-based, multidisciplinary and culturally tailored intervention to reduce barriers and implement innovate strategies to engage this population in the uptake of COVID-19 testing and vaccination.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Prevalence of COVID-19 testing, pneumococcal and influenza vaccinations Using Test History Self-Report

  By comparison of pre-, post- intervention, and six-months follow-up data, we anticipate the following compared to baseline: a 30% change in willingness and uptake for testing and vaccination.

  Intervention: 3 months; Follow-up Point: 6 months post-intervention

• Percentage of Participants Achieving Decreased Levels of COVID-19 Risk Using the NIH Toolbox Surveys on COVID-19

  By comparison of pre-, post- intervention, and six-months follow-up data, we anticipate the following compared to baseline: a 30% change in perceived COVID-19 risk.

  Intervention: 3 months; Follow-up Point: 6 months post-intervention

• Percentage of Participants Achieving Decreased Levels of COVID-19 Mistrust and Barriers Using the NIH Toolbox Surveys on COVID-19

  By comparison of pre-, post- intervention, and six-months follow-up data, we anticipate the following compared to baseline: a 40% change in mistrust and perceived barriers toward COVID-19 testing and vaccination,

  Intervention: 3 months; Follow-up Point: 6 months post-intervention

Increasing Uptake of COVID-19 Testing and Vaccination

EXPERIMENTAL

This is a pre-experimental "one group pretest-posttest" design to improve COVID-19 associated health outcomes and willingness and uptake toward testing and vaccination among 310 Hispanic and African American public housing residents in South Los Angeles. The proposed intervention will employ (1) culturally sensitive, (2) theoretically based intervention that will be jointly delivered by our COVID-19 health ambassadors and our researchers. We will use the Information, Motivation, and Behavioral Skills (IMB) model and the Transtheoretical Model to implement the intervention.
