Study summary

To create and evaluate effective COVID-19 testing uptake strategies that focus on underserved individuals who are exposed but have not accessed testing, and underserved individuals who are not routinely tested because they are unaware of their exposure or risk status in order to increase testing among these populations and reduce Covid-19 related disparities.

Read the detailed description

Communities Fighting COVID is a partnership between San Diego State's School of Public Health and numerous communities in San Diego focused on providing community-based testing to specific language-speaking communities and vulnerable populations. This partnership is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics-Undeserved Populations (Radx-UP), with the aim of ensuring all Americans have access to timely COVID-19 testing and diagnosis. Many communities, particularly immigrant and people of color communities, have a harder time accessing existing COVID-19 resources due to transportation, language barriers, or other barriers.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Test uptake

    Testing volume by study arm as cumulative count per hours testing site operated

    Time frame: Through study completion, expected to be 20 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Test access

    Proportion of individuals by study arm who note that this strategy has facilitated ability to test.

    Time frame: Through study completion, expected to be 20 months

  2. Test Impact (COVID-19 diagnoses)

    Proportion of COVID-19 diagnoses of those tested by study arm

    Time frame: Through study completion, expected to be 20 months

  3. Test Impact (number needed to screen)

    Number needed to screen (number tested in order to detect one new infection).

    Time frame: Through study completion, expected to be 20 months
