About

The goal of this adapted intervention 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.

Full description

Eligible participants will be randomized to intervention or control group. Intervention group participants will meet virtually with other community member participants in small discussion groups once a week for 75 minutes over the course of 14 weeks. The online discussion groups will be led by peer mentor facilitators and supported by a research team member. Discussion topics will include current events and other health related topics. Control group participants will not meet in weekly discussion groups. At approximately the 0 weeks, 14 weeks, and 18 weeks time points, all participants will answer online surveys about health related topics. At the 14 weeks and 18 weeks time points, all participants will also be asked to self-administer a COVID-19 test that investigators provide.
