COVID-19 Group Problem Solving
COVID-19 Group Problem Solving: This group 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 plan of action to reduce their and their peers' risk for COVID-19 transmission. Navigation Component will consist of providing information and linking LDLs with social service providers that can help buffer some of the social and economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the "Multiplicador de salud"/Health Multiplier component that builds from the theoretical and practice-based method of mobilizing social networks and social support, defined as encouraging social networks to provide informational, emotional, appraisal, and instrumental support as cited in the Taxonomy of Behavior Change Methods. Standard of Care: This group will receive a COVID-19 prevention flyer and social resources list only
