Interventions

COVID-19 Group Problem Solving BEHAVIORAL

The COVID-19 Group Problem Solving component incorporates popular education activities aimed at: developing social cohesion among LDLs; building awareness about COVID-19 risks and protective behaviors; and developing a plan of action to reduce theirs and their peers' risk for COVID-19 transmission. The intervention will be developed to take place over a \~30-45-minute period in order to fit within the corner context of LDLs waiting for employment, and will be delivered by promoters from our team and the community partner agency, Fe \& Justicia Workers Center. Following the completion of the intervention, a health promoter will be trained as a navigator assist participants who wish to get vaccinated by providing them with information about near-by vaccination sites that they can visit to get vaccinated. If needed, the promotor will assist them with making their vaccine appointment.
