Interventions

  • COVID-19 Group Problem Solving — BEHAVIORAL
    Participants will have three core components to be delivered at the corner by trained data collectors. Interactive dialogue component that incorporates popular education activities aimed at developing social cohesion among LDLs, building awareness about COVID-19 risks and protective behaviors and developing a personal commitment called "Mi Promesa" to implement COVID mitigation practices. Navigation Component will consist of providing information and linking LDLs with social service providers and the "Multiplicador de salud"/Health Multiplier component that builds from the theoretical and practice-based method of mobilizing social networks and social support.
  • Standard of Care — BEHAVIORAL
    Participants will receive a COVID-19 prevention flyer and social resources list only
  • Booster session — BEHAVIORAL
    Participants in this group will also receive a "booster phone call" 10 to 15 days after the small group intervention to provide brief prompts to encourage participants to act on their personal commitments and encourage them to seek community resources.

Study Details

The purpose of this study is to determine the cultural, socioeconomic, inter/personal and work-related factors that influence COVID 19 mitigation practices including social distancing, hand-washing and Personal protective equipment (PPE) use, to adapt, implement, and test Vale+Tú Salud in a cluster randomized trial to assess the extent to which LDL report increased adherence with COVID 19 mitigation practices 1 month post intervention and to promote Vale+Tú Salud just-in-time results and increase its capacity to rapidly disseminate findings among groups that serve LDL and other Latino immigrants.
