title: Organizations to Reduce, Advance, and Lead for Equity (ORALE) Against COVID-19

description: The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected the already underserved Latinx communities. The overall goal of the proposed testing research project is to decrease disparities in the morbidity and mortality patterns for COVID-19 through engaged partnerships with several communities in central California that are both historically underserved and vulnerable to COVID-19, namely the Latinx. These communities currently are experiencing infection rates that are three times higher than whites, and are among the highest in the U.S. They also are among the most socially and economically disadvantaged, have high rates of co-morbidities such as diabetes and asthma, live in overcrowded housing, and reside in some of the most polluted areas of the country. A high proportion are undocumented and employed in food production, especially farm labor, performing essential work that has been a backbone of the California economy, while simultaneously being marginalized. The proposed research will build upon long-term existing partnerships with an array of community-based organizations and trusted leaders in Latinx communities to develop interventions that address the barriers to SARS-CoV2 diagnostics, as part of a larger strategy to reduce transmission and control the pandemic in the Latinx population of central California. Because of the dynamic changes in incidence, shifting hubs of transmission, and policy changes from authorities, a comparator trial of different community- developed interventions is needed to provide information on which actions are feasible, acceptable, and effective. Hence, comparisons will be made between the Latinx population and whites in the same counties, and among Latinx persons from counties having different interventions, with adjustment for infection incidence rates and trajectories, as well as local policy changes and government interventions. We will pursue the overall goal with the following specific aims: 1) Determine the epidemiology of COVID-19 infections, COVID-19 related mortality, and SARS-CoV-2 testing rates in selected Latinx and white non-Latinx communities of targeted California counties, 2) Develop strategies to increase testing and reduce rates of infection in the targeted areas in collaboration with community partners and, 3) Disseminate information and knowledge gained from this project back to partnering communities, other grantees from this and other COVID-19 initiatives by full participation in RADx-UP Coordinating Data and Collection Center (CDCC), to the broad public, and to policy- makers. Experience and knowledge gained through achievement of these aims will set a firm foundation for subsequent research on COVID-19 and health disparities and will help to prepare communities to meet the challenges of future public health crises.

title: COVID-19 Testing in Underserved and Vulnerable Populations Receiving Care in San Diego Community Health Centers

description: Pronounced inequities and disparities in coronavirus disease (COVID-19)COVID-19 morbidity and mortality have been reported, largely due to comorbid conditions and social determinants of health.  Approximately 95% of COVID-19 related deaths occur among individuals with underlying medical conditions.  Of all racial/ethnic groups, Hispanic/Latino communities in San Diego County have experienced the greatest burden of COVID-19 disease and deaths.  Furthermore, testing challenges to date are evident, including long turnaround of test results and longer waiting times for African American and Hispanics compared to whites.  The goal of this community-engaged proposal is to develop, test, and evaluate a rapid, scalable capacity building project to enhance COVID-19 testing in three regional community health centers (CHCs) in San Diego County.  In collaboration with our CHC partners, their consortium organization (Health Quality Partners), and community stakeholders, we propose the following Specific Aims:1) Compare the effectiveness of automated calls and text messaging for uptake of COVID-19 testing among asymptomatic adult patients with select medical conditions and those 65 years of age and older receiving care at participating CHCs. Secondarily, we will invite all study participants to receive flu vaccination and we will assess feasibility and acceptability of study participants to refer adult family household members who are essential workers for COVID-19 testing. 2) Gather patient, provider, CHC leadership, and community stakeholder insights to establish best practices for future scale-up of COVID-19 testing sustainability and vaccination.  Our community-engaged project includes underserved (socioeconomically disadvantaged and large proportion of Hispanic/Latinos) as well as COVID-19 vulnerable individuals (patients with medical comorbidities and 65 years of age and older).  Our approach considers regional COVID-19 morbidity and mortality disparities to identify strategies to address disproportionate infection rates and follow-up.  By working in partnership with health care providers, health care system leaders, and community stakeholders, our team has the potential to build the evidence-base approaches and identify sustainable solutions to understand and address the current and future pandemics in our underserved and vulnerable populations.

title: Implementation Science Center in Cancer Control Equity: A Competitive Revision to Accelerate COVID Testing in Vulnerable Communities - Project 08

description: 500-1000 wordsThis competitive revision submitted to the RADx-UP Initiative (NOT-20-121) aims to extend the infrastructure of our P50 Implementation Science Center for Cancer Control Equity (ISCCCE) to accelerate COVID testing in 9 hotspot communities in MA. ISCCCE is a strong partnership with the Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers, in which we co-design studies to increase implementation of evidence-based practices focused on equity. Together we are extremely well-positioned to extend our community-engaged efforts to COVID-19 testing, and to build an infrastructure that will support future COVID-related mitigation and prevention efforts in the vulnerable communities that our community health centers (CHCs) serve.  This project will include 6 community health center- community partnerships in nine vulnerable communities that continue to be COVID hot spots. These communities collectively have 1.3 million residents. Partner CHCs currently focus on COVID-19 testing for diagnostic purposes in symptomatic individuals, with limited outreach testing in high-risk communities. This project will expand the scope of testing to include prospective surveillance activities using dedicated testing and outreach teams. Accelerated testing efforts will be focused on CHC patients and community members who have significant social and medical vulnerabilities to COVID, per the NOSI, including those living in congregate housing, people experiencing homelessness, those with substance use disorders, low wage essential workers, and those with limited English proficiency. The partnership is well-integrated into the State’s testing and contact tracing strategy, and well-positioned to leverage those resources. We draw on our strongly community-engaged, equity-focused approach to implementation, and on Mass League’s extensive experience in HIV testing and contact tracing. We will use an interrupted time series design to evaluate the impact of the enhanced outreach efforts on testing rates overall and on priority populations in the context of different phases of re-opening and restrictions. We will also use an exploratory sequential mixed methods approach to conduct a series of community-engaged pilot studies to address key barriers to testing and different approaches to return of results.  Our Human Participant Research Unit, co-led by academic and community-based investigators, will guide the partnership’s work through an ethics and equity lens. We will support the CHC-community partnerships through our Testing Capacity and Innovation Team, which will provide infectious disease expertise and technical guidance on COVID testing. Our Community Communications Team will use educational and communication design strategies to develop culturally and linguistically appropriate materials to support the testing activities.

title: COVID-19: Implementing Community-Based Approaches to Increase SARS-CoV-2 Testing Among an Underserved and Vulnerable Hispanic Population

description: Hispanics living in the United States have been negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in a disproportionate manner, including significantly higher infection and hospitalization rates compared with non-Hispanic whites. The El Paso, TX metropolitan area has a substantial Hispanic population that has been profoundly affected by the current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, especially the vulnerable residents of rural El Paso County. Many of these residents suffer from marked cumulative disadvantages with limited healthcare, poor access to public transportation, work as essential workers in low-paying frontline jobs, and demonstrate a persistent hesitancy to interact with unfamiliar medical systems and processes, resulting in “SARS-CoV-2 testing deserts”. There is a critical need to increase the number of individuals being tested for SARS-CoV-2 in El Paso County, however, success in this space requires an integrated and personalized approach whereby residents are engaged with and informed by trusted co-ethnics and local organizations. The proposed aims will strategically integrate University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), non-profit, business, and public partners, coupled with culturally-centric familial and Community Health Worker (CHWs) networks, as catalysts to: 1) reduce testing deficiencies by providing SARS-CoV-2 testing information, navigation strategies to testing sites, and implementing local pop-up testing sites, and 2) provide foundational data for understanding testing barriers and developing platforms for assessing future COVID-19 vaccine uptake willingness for El Paso residents. The UTEP Border Biomedical Research Center (BBRC), and associated Coronavirus Testing Program that provides CLIA-certified testing, is central to completion of the integrated approaches, and the established capability of the investigative team to interact with community partners and recruit participants is a prominent strength of the proposed plan. The proposed studies will test the novel hypothesis that improving the reach, acceptance, uptake and sustainability of SARS-CoV-2 testing for the most marginalized populations of El Paso County is dependent on implementing strategies that target the cultural, social and behavioral factors characteristic of this population. The multifaceted approach will enhance the testing capacity in the El Paso region, reduce testing hesitancy, increase coronavirus testing numbers for vulnerable populations within specific testing deserts, and exert a sustained influence on the health status of the region by integrating the extensive collaborative networks that are essential for addressing the persistent negative social determinants of health.

title: Communities Fighting COVID!: Returning Our Kids Back to School Safely

description: San Diego State University (SDSU), a designated Hispanic-serving institution, is partnering with Sweetwater Union High School District, an independent public school district serving 90% ethnic minority and a high proportion of socioeconomically disadvantaged students, and other community partners, to generate evidence for effective and feasible COVID-19 testing for middle school students and staff as part of broader COVID mitigation strategies including vaccination to return students back to school safely. Our specific aims are to: 1) determine if providing free at-home COVID-19 rapid antigen testing kits produces equivalent participation in school screening testing as on-site school testing; 2) evaluate if a family-based model of making testing available to family members enhances participation; 3) study implementation of the program to inform our scale-up to additional schools; and 4) identify resources needed to ensure ongoing high participation rates.

title: Assessing Vaccine Hesitancy and a Pharmacist Led Intervention Model to Increase COVID-19 Vaccine Uptake Among African Americans

description: The investigators at Xavier University of Louisiana are utilizing a multicenter approach including clinic, health care institution, and community survey-based research project toassess the beliefs and behavior regarding willingness to be vaccinated with a prospective COVID-19 vaccine among African Americans in the Southeastern Louisiana region. TheCOVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately impacted the African American across the United States. Louisiana ranks 1st in the nation in per capita incidence of COVID-19. AfricanAmericans make up over 50% of the deaths of all known COVID-19 patients in the state, while only representing about 32% of the population. With the development of a COVID-19vaccine on the near horizon, an urgent assessment of the African American community’s readiness for vaccine uptake is needed to inform a pharmacist-led intervention model thatwill increase vaccine uptake. The Specific Aims of this proposal are:Specific Aim #1: To identify factors of vaccine hesitancy and the potential acceptance of a COVID-19 vaccine among the adult African-American community in SoutheasternLouisiana.Specific Aim #2: To assess the personal and financial impact of COVID-19, knowledge of COVID-19, as well as experience with the healthcare system with regards to COVID-19.Specific Aim #3: To use the results of Aim #1 and #2 to inform a community pharmacist certification course and a pharmacist led intervention model among pharmacist vaccinators.Method: Specific Aim #1 and #2 will be assessed by a survey at the start of study with an abbreviated follow-up survey 9 months later from clinic, community member andcommunity pharmacy patient respondents. Changes in vaccine hesitancy and the impact on vaccine uptake will be determined.Aim#3 will be assessed by a pharmacist led education intervention model with vaccine uptake surveillance in community pharmacies across Louisiana to assess COVID-19 andother ACIP eligible vaccines.Impact: The implications of this proposed project are to understand health related beliefs and behaviors related to COVID-19 and vaccination and their impact on the likely uptake ofa COVID-19 vaccine among African Ameircans. It will also provide data to facilitate the development of strategies

title: ReSET: Restarting Safe Education and Testing for Children with Medical Complexity

description: The study objective is to increase safe return to school for CMC (children with medical complexity) and school personnel through 3 complementary approaches/aims. Aim 1 proposes to determine the feasibility of in-home and school-based testing strategies for CMC, as well as to gain understanding of parent perceptions about in-person school attendance.  Activities in this aim involve 3 cohorts: Cohort 1 are caregivers and CMC enrolled in a complex care program. Subjects are offered in-home testing kits and asked to complete quarterly surveys on parent perceptions of safe school attendance during the pandemic. Cohort 2 involves students and staff of a preschool providing care to typically developing and special needs students. Subjects are offered in-school and in-home testing, and are asked to complete the quarterly surveys.  Cohort 3 involves students enrolled at a K-12 school exclusively serving children with special needs. Parents are asked to complete the quarterly surveys and may also opt to share their child's COVID testing results performed at the school.  Aim 2 attempts to broaden understanding of parent perceptions predicting school attendance by soliciting parents of CMC receiving care at a large academic medical center to complete the quarterly survey on perceptions of safe school attendance during the pandemic.  Aim 3 is to establish a consensus set of stakeholder priorities to facilitate safe school attendance for CMC.

title: Safety, Testing/Transmission, and Outcomes in Pregnancies with COVID-19 (STOP COVID-19)

description: Pregnant women are a vulnerable and high-risk population, as COVID-19 is associated with an increased risk of preterm birth, cesarean section, and maternal intensive care. The objectives of this study are to: (a) evaluate the full impact of SARS-CoV-2 in pregnancy to inform testing strategies, (b) examine the factors that impede testing during pregnancy, and (c) use study data to devise implementation strategies that improve SARS-CoV-2 testing in pregnancy and prenatal care during the pandemic. To do so, we propose to prospectively enroll two cohorts of pregnant women: 1) exposed (SARS-CoV-2 positive), and 2) unexposed (SARS-CoV-2 negative as defined by antibody testing at the beginning of pregnancy, every trimester, and at delivery). Women who initially enroll as unexposed but later test positive for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies will cross over to the exposed cohort. In total, an estimated 179 pregnant women will be followed per cohort. In Aim 1, we will evaluate patients’ and providers’ perceptions of SARS-CoV-2 testing during pregnancy and the influence of COVID-19 on maternal care-seeking behavior and anxiety via surveys and semi-structured interviews. We hypothesize suboptimal uptake of testing among pregnant women due to the fear of repercussions from a positive test. In Aim 2, we will determine the effect of SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy on the risk of preterm birth and other adverse pregnancy outcomes in symptomatic and asymptomatic disease. We hypothesize that SARS-CoV-2 infection will increase the risk of preterm birth by 12%, regardless of disease severity. In Aim 3, we will estimate the risk of mother-to-fetus SARS-CoV-2 transmission and viral presence in umbilical cord blood, placenta, and amniotic fluid by assaying for viral RNA in the neonate, cord blood, and placenta. We hypothesize that SARS-CoV-2 can be transmitted from mother to fetus. Collectively, Aims 1-3 will be interpreted by investigators, our Scientific Advisory Board (experts in obstetrics, infectious disease, implementation science, disparities) and our Community Advisory Board (an obstetric social worker, pregnant women, and a director of a community obstetrics clinic) who will apply data to devising targeted implementation strategies designed for rapid community dissemination to improve testing and prenatal care. In sum, this study will fill knowledge gaps on the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection and current utilization of diagnostic testing in pregnancy. Further, it will create implementation strategies to overcome barriers to testing, increase uptake, and promote acceptance and sustainability of testing. Lastly, this study will help determine optimal testing strategies by examining the necessity of testing for asymptomatic disease, inform prenatal care plans by assessing the full impact of infection, and contribute to our ability to counsel women and create prenatal care plans if they are pregnant or considering pregnancy. .
