Participant Flow

A total of 1235 participants were screened, 936 were eligible, and 778 consented. Baseline surveys could be completed remotely, but intervention sessions required in-person attendance. Randomization occurred only when participants were physically present. Some participants did not attend due to scheduling conflicts and were not randomized.

Education Arm
The Education condition will include COVID-19 prevention messaging and an interactive activity reinforcing the messages. Testimonial videos will be played including those that describe the testing experience and motivations for testing. This approach combines self-affirmation with misinformation correction to take advantage of the ability to promote adaptive COVID-19 prevention behaviors. Education: Testimonial videos will be played including those that describe the testing experience and their motivations for testing. This approach combines self-affirmation with misinformation correction to take advantage of the ability to promote adaptive COVID-19 prevention behaviors. The self-affirmation activity will always precede the presentation of the testimonial videos as leading with misinformation correction can be construed by some as a threat to one's self-adequacy.
Motivational Arm
Study participants randomized to the Motivational Intervention will receive the intervention using a social network diffusion approach. This is a Type I network intervention that includes specific training on mobilization of network members. The Motivational intervention will be based upon a previous workshop divided into four learning and practice modules. Motivational: This is a Type I network intervention that includes specific training on mobilization of network members. Training occurs in a group-based setting of 8-10 enrolled participants facilitated by a community facilitator and Motivational Interviewing trained interventionist. At 30 days, a 15-20-minute phone booster communication session reinforces the intervention content
