Trial Outcomes & Findings for COVID-19: Healthy Oregon (Oregon Saludable): Together We Can (Juntos Podemos) (NCT NCT04793464)

NCT ID: NCT04793464

Last Updated: 2024-05-08

Results Overview

From the PhenX toolkit, Protocol - COVID-19 Knowledge, Attitudes, and Avoidant Behaviors, participants are asked to indicate "Which of the following have you done in the last even days to keep yourself safe from coronavirus? Only consider actions that you took or decisions that you made personally." There are a total of 17 possible items participants rate as a binary, Yes/No, response. The count of 'yes' responses was recorded. The scale will range from 0-17. A higher score indicates more preventative behaviors.

Participant Flow

Initial recruitment occurred at the testing sites. A standardized recruitment script was used and will include eligibility questions including: (1) age, (2) attendance at event, (3) able to understand English or Spanish at a 5th grade level, (4) was not previously enrolled in the project. Re-recruitment occurred 30 days after enrollment. Participants were asked in the first survey how they preferred to complete the follow-up survey, with options to complete by phone, mail, or online.

Promotores
The Promotores de Salud intervention involves specified outreach and psychoeducation on SARS-CoV-2 health related behaviors. Promotores de Salud: The Promotores de Salud intervention is delivered by a paid Promotor(a) who is a trusted member of the community where the testing site is located. The intervention includes: (1) psychoeducation to increase knowledge about COVID-19 and the benefits of testing; (2) motivational interviewing (MI) strategies to explore personal, social, and behavioral barriers to testing and to discuss available resources to resolve these barriers; (3) emotional support to address testing-related concerns and anxieties that may dissuade Latinx individuals from getting tested; and (4) service navigation. When promotores are on-site at testing events, they will provide information about COVID-19 and preventive behaviors using in-person instruction on effective mask wearing, hand washing, and physical distancing, as well as the importance of repeated testing and vaccines.
Control
Services as usual includes outreach as usual strategies and pamphlets on site at events. Services as usual: Services as usual, our control condition, includes strategies that are typically conducted by county and community-based organizations that serve under-represented groups to notify people of testing opportunities related to COVID-19. These include Facebook advertisements, email announcements, circulation to other community-based organizations and state agencies (e.g., Oregon Health Authority, county public health), and other flyer distribution means. This condition also includes a pamphlet about health behaviors and community resources handed out by testing facilitators at testing events.

Timeframe: Change from baseline symptoms at 30 days

Participants respond to the Phenx Toolkit depression (2 items) and anxiety (2 items) subscales regarding how much or how often they have been bothered by each problem during the past 2 weeks. Items are rated on a scale ranging from 0-4, where 0="none/not at all" and 4= "severe/nearly every day". A mean score will be computed from the 4 items, with higher scores indicating more symptoms. Higher scores indicate a worse outcome.
