Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The main questions this study aims to answer are:
1. Can teaching people to use motivational interviewing help more friends and connections of Latino adults get the COVID-19 vaccine compared to just giving information about the vaccine?
2. What are the things that make it easier or harder for Latinos and networks to get the COVID-19 vaccine?
3. How does this intervention work in practice so that it can be made available to more people in the future
The researchers will compare the vaccine rates of the friends and connections of Latinos who have been trained in motivational interviewing with those who have only been given information about the COVID-19 vaccine. This will help figure out which method works best to encourage more people to get vaccinated.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
REDES: Motivational interviewing training
Participants in this arm will receive training on motivational interviewing (MI) to promote vaccine acceptance and uptake with their networks. The training will be led by community health workers on how to use MI to address vaccine hesitancy using a guiding approach, open-ended questions, affirmations, reflections, and summaries.

Control: COVID-19 vaccine information
Participants in the control condition will receive a brief community health worker-led training about the safety and efficacy of the vaccine. Participants will have the opportunity to ask clarifying questions from the community health workers during the training.
Control
Brief CHW-led training about the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine. Participants will have the opportunity to ask clarifying questions from the CHWs during the training.
