title: Using the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST) to Optimize an Intervention to Increase COVID-19 Testing for Black and Latino/Hispanic Frontline Essential Workers

description: Among those at highest risk for exposure to COVID-19 is the large population of frontline essential workers(FEW) in lower status occupations (e.g., retail, in-home health care), among whom Black and Latino/Hispanic(BLH) persons are over-represented. For those not vaccinated for COVID, regular COVID-19 screeningtesting is recommended even when asymptomatic for those with frequent close contact with others in indoorsettings such as FEW. However, BLH-FEW experience serious impediments to COVID-19 testing and testingrates are lower among BLH than White populations. The proposed community-engaged study is led by acollaborative team at New York University and the Northern Manhattan Improvement Corporation (NMIC). Itsmain goal is to optimize a behavioral intervention to boost COVID-19 testing rates for BLH-FEW. Consistentwith RFA-OD-21-008, the proposed study uses the multiphase optimization strategy (MOST) framework totest four candidate intervention components grounded in our past research. Participants will be N=448BLH-FEW who have not been tested for COVID-19 in the past six months and who are not vaccinated forCOVID-19, randomly assigned to an intervention condition, and assessed at 6- and 12-weeks post-baseline.

title: Community Mistrust and Measures of Institutional Trustworthiness (COMMIT)

description: In the United States underserved and socially vulnerable populations have endured higher rates and disparities of COVID-19 infection, morbidity, and mortality. This disproportionate burden has shown the light on the root causes of COVID-19 disparities such as longstanding systemic racial bias in health care delivery, discrimination, and poor social determinants of health that lead to health disparities for medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes, hypertension, and obesity, all of which increase risk and susceptibility to COVID-19 and its sequalae. To address these root causes, academic and other research institutions and health care systems must shift their lens from one that focuses solely on changing behaviors among underserved and vulnerable populations. Behaviors among health care and research institutions must change to breakdown the structural barriers to trust, testing, treatment, and prevention of COVID-19. Prior to asking patients and community members to trust in research and researchers, the focus should be on radical institutional transformation to advance trustworthiness. 
Trying to address social, ethical, and behavioral issues (SEBI) influencing access acceptability and uptake of COVID-19 testing during a pandemic is extremely challenging, yet achievable when there are existing community-academic partnerships. The distinction between trust and trustworthiness suggests that trustworthiness is an antecedent to trust. Our proposed study will employ a continuous engagement approach to advance institutional trustworthiness and improve the strength of an existing community-engaged research (CEnR) partnership. In collaboration with community and community-based pharmacy partners, our purpose is to codesign a sustainable model for trustworthy CEnR partnerships to address SEBI of COVID-19 testing.

title: Localized Mobile Health Approach to Boosting COVID-19 Testing and Vaccine Literacy, Access, and Uptake Among Women with Criminal Legal System Involvement

description: People with criminal legal system involvement (CLSI) have experienced five times as many COVID-19 infections and have three times the risk of death compared to general population in the U.S. Heavily impacted by COVID-19 and squarely within NIH health disparities populations, people with CLSI are often poor and disproportionately from racial and ethnic minority groups. Despite the increased risk of COVID-19, we expect that only one-half of people with CLSI will get vaccinated. Ongoing COVID-19 testing in communities and among groups that are not vaccinated will be key to containing the pandemic. The messaging that COVID-19 testing will still be important may not be getting through to people who are at risk – a critical driver of disparities.
Our team has a unique opportunity to boost testing literacy, access, and uptake using mobile health (mHealth) technologies (text and Web) to reach women with CLSI in community settings who are part of the existing Tri-City Cohort drawn from geographically and socio-politically diverse cities: Birmingham, AL, Kansas City, MO/KS, and Oakland, CA. This application is highly responsive to the RADx-UP Phase II call for research that tests interventions to reduce COVID-19 disparities among underserved populations. Our team is positioned to embed the proposed study into an existing Web-based women’s health literacy intervention platform (www.shewomen.org, 2R01CA181047) for women leaving jail. We are also able to immediately push the mHealth COVID-19 testing literacy intervention to 508 women we have already recruited to a three-city cervical health study of women with CLSI (R01CA226838), and to promptly make this scalable intervention widely available to people with CLSI. 
We will engage the women as stakeholders to study regional and individual differences in COVID-19 testing and vaccine literacy, access, and uptake. We will use findings to rapidly develop an mHealth intervention focused on COVID-19 literacy, and then push the intervention to CLSI women in the three cities to boost COVID-19 literacy, testing, access, and uptake, and vaccination. Findings will be used to develop dissemination strategies with stakeholders to push the mHealth intervention to the two million women and 11 million men who interface with the criminal legal system annually in the U.S.

title: SARS-CoV-2 Screening in Dialysis Facilities: Building an Optimal Strategy to Protect a High Risk Population

description: We plan to offer SARS-CoV-2 screening tests at selected dialysis facilities in order to: reduce transmission, and detect early cases and prevent serious illness among patients receiving dialysis. Patients receiving dialysis have an 8-fold higher risk for hospitalization and 15-fold higher risk for death from COVID-19 compared with the general population.  Patients receiving dialysis also disproportionately belong to racial/ethnic minority and economically disadvantaged groups. Thus the goals of this project are to increase availability of highly sensitive and specific testing for SARS-CoV-2 infection in a medically vulnerable and disadvantaged population. We plan to perform a pragmatic cluster (facility-level) randomized study to test the patient level acceptability of two strategies for offering test-based screening offered at the dialysis facility. We will be offering anterior nares, rtPCR tests at a static frequency (aim 1) versus a dynamic frequency anchored to county COVID-19 spread (aim 2). After a pilot in four facilities, we plan to scale up the study to 62 dialysis facilities within US Renal Care. After a 3-month period of testing, we will assess the following outcomes: Patient level test acceptability (primary outcome), Facility level Deaths, and Facility level Hospitalization. The overall goal is to identify a highly acceptable universal testing strategy for patients receiving dialysis, and prevent serious complications from SARS-CoV-2 by identifying cases early.

title: Mobile Health-Targeted SARS-CoV-2 Testing and Community Interventions to Maximize Migrant Children's School Attendance During the COVID-19 Pandemic

description: Prospective, mixed-methods cohort study of children who are eligible, enrolled, or who previously participated in the Nebraska Migrant Education Program (MEP) and their families who consent to enroll in an mHealth-targeted, in-home SARS-CoV-2 testing and community aid program. Participant caregivers will perform household-level SARS-CoV-2 infection risk screening at least twice weekly and surveys for social determinants of health challenges (household challenges) every other week. Positive SARS-CoV-2 risk screens will prompt enrolled students and family members to perform in-home nasal swab antigen testing and report their results to the study team. Positive household challenges surveys will prompt families to indicate their interest in receiving assistance from a community navigator. Follow-up qualitative interviews of students and adult family members will occur for families with positive responses on mHealth screening, positive SARS-CoV-2 antigen test results, and for families who decline to perform testing when prompted.

title: COVID-19 Treatment Cascade Optimization Study

description: This study tests an adaptation of the HIV Continuum of Prevention, Care, and Treatment Framework (CoPCT) for use in tracking COVID-19 testing and follow-up in a medically and socially vulnerable population. This study uses an integrated research collaborative framework that facilitates dialogue among researchers, community members, and service providers as a tool for optimizing the adaptive intervention and will take place at the North Jersey Community Research Initiative (NJCRI).  This study will use the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST) to optimize an adaptive intervention that successfully navigates COVID-19 medically or socially vulnerable people through a continuum of prevention, care and treatment (CoPCT) modeled on the HIV CoPCT. The COVID-19 CoPCT starts with testing and continues with successful adherence to prevention or treatment guidelines to help prevent and/or treat COVID-19. The study will assess the effectiveness of Navigation Services compared to referrals in increasing COVID-19 testing and Brief Counseling in increasing adherence to the State of NJ recommendations for COVID-19 prevention and treatment. The study will also examine the effect of Critical Dialogue on testing behavior among people who decline to be tested for COVID-19. The investigators will develop decision rules about what evidence-based-interventions work best for what types of people (e.g., those who test right away, versus decliners) and in what period of the COVID-19 continuum. Finally, the study will shed light on factors associated with testing and adherence to NJ recommendations. Investigators will follow Community Based Participatory Research principles in implementing a sequential, multiple assignment randomized trial (SMART) design.

title: Social and Behavioral Implications for COVID-19 Testing in Delaware's Underserved Communities

description: The focus of this project is to triangulate data from semi-structured surveys, serology testing and censustract-linked public health and economic data to better understand social and behavioral factors related to COVID-19testing and vaccine uptake in minority communities, and to develop communication strategies to increase acceptance oftesting and vaccination. Social and behavioral factors are being identified through a semi-structured survey, based on theJohns Hopkins University COVID-19 Community Response Survey available from the NIH Public Health Emergency andDisaster Research Response (DR2) platform, and incorporating the common data elements from the RADx CDCC. Thesurvey collects detailed information on participants’ medical history and current health, family structure and livingconditions, employment and socioeconomic status, social distancing knowledge and practices, access to health care,presence of symptoms related to COVID-19 in themselves and among their contacts, their history of virus testing andattitudes toward testing, their vaccination history, and their interest in receiving a vaccine. Working with communitypartners we are recruiting participants from communities which score poorly on Delaware’s community health index.

title: Sin Duda: A Community-driven Approach to Expand Reach, Access and Uptake of COVID-19 Home-Based Tests for At-Risk Latinos

description: The COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately impacts Latinos in the US. COVID-19 testing remains critical for tracking and slowing the spread of the virus and preventing future outbreaks, particularly in communities disproportionately affected by COVID-19 and where vaccination coverage is suboptimal. The goal of this project is to expand our RADx-UP Phase 1 COVID-19 testing project "Vive Sin Duda" to implement and evaluate innovative implementation strategies to increase reach, access, and uptake of COVID-19 home- We will implement and evaluate two distribution approaches: 1) Network-based; and 2) Social marketing. We will also incorporate data- driven iterative changes to optimize a community health worker (CHW)- short message service (SMS) based self-testing (HST) among low-income Latinos in Maryland. COVID- 19 HST led platform to support HST and linkage to COVID-19 care, vaccination, and other services (e.g., cash and food assistance). Primary and secondary outcomes include: 1) Reach and uptake of HST; and 2) Linkage to care for those who test positive or vaccination for unvaccinated people who test negative. Leveraging our existing community coalition, testing and vaccination clinics, and a team of bilingual and bicultural CHWs, we are well- poised to implement a COVID-19 HST program and measure its impact. Our research will provide important new information that will improve access and uptake of innovative COVID-19 testing technology. It also will fill critical knowledge gaps to guide the translation of evidence-based interventions into widespread adoption by RADx-UP consortium members.

title: Supporting the Health and Well-being of Children with Intellectual and Developmental Disability During COVID-19 Pandemic

description: Children with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) are at major risk of irreversible harm from theCoronavirus Infectious Diseases 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, particularly those from underserved populations.Not only are they at dramatically higher risk of becoming infected with Severe Acute Respiratory SyndromeCoronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) and death from COVID-19, but children with IDD are vulnerable to the negativeimpact of school closure. School districts provide critical services beyond the education, including nutritional,social, therapy (physical, occupational, and speech-language) and healthcare services. Risks are heightened forchildren with IDD, as they are often unable to wear masks, practice social distancing and/or implement effectivehand hygiene. Access to rapid and reliable SARS-CoV-2 testing is essential for children with IDD and schoolstaff in order to safely return to school. Members of our research team have developed an innovative, scalable,low-cost method for SARS-CoV-2 testing using saliva samples. Investigators at the Washington UniversityIntellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Center (IDDRC@WUSTL), in collaboration with theUniversity of Missouri-Kansas City Institute of Human Development and the Kennedy Krieger Institute inMaryland (which includes an IDDRC, the Maryland Center for Developmental Disabilities, and the KennedyKrieger School Programs), are ideally positioned to determine the best implementation strategies to maximizeuse of a saliva-based SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic test for vulnerable children and school staff in a school setting.The IDDRC@WUSTL has a long-standing relationship with the Special School District (SSD) of St. Louis County,whose mission is to serve children with IDD, and the national network of the Association of University Centerson Disabilities (AUCD). First, we will determine the most effective messaging and implementation strategies to maximize weekly SARS-CoV-2 testing in a school setting. In this adaptive clinical trial, we will administer 52,000diagnostic tests to students and school staff at SSD, whose student population is 48% Black. Second, we willmeasure national attitudes among parents/guardians of children with IDD and school staff regarding the impactof COVID-19 and the importance of SARS-CoV-2 testing. At the successful completion of this project, we willhave improved the acceptance, adoption, and process for SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic testing in a school-basedsetting to enable delivery of critical educational activities for children with IDD in an underserved community. Byidentifying the most effective methods for SARS-CoV-2 testing in a vulnerable population of children with IDD,we will establish a blueprint for wider adoption of COVID-19 mitigation efforts, such as vaccination.
