PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Little is known about the acceptability of COVID-19 testing in low-income and racial/ethnic minority neighborhoods, where residents experience increased barriers to prevention and treatment (e.g., unstable housing, higher risk jobs). In this hybrid effectiveness / implementation study, community members and researchers will work together as partners with a community-based organization in Illinois and one in New Jersey to test an intervention to increase COVID-19 testing and adherence to CDC COVID-19 treatment and prevention recommendations.
