Clinical Trial Summary

This proposal seeks to enhance uptake and completion of COVID-19 vaccination among African American and Latinx public housing residents in South Los Angeles. Given the multiple disparities experienced by public housing residents, the investigators will utilize a theoretically-based, multidisciplinary and culturally tailored intervention to provide education at multiple levels and implement innovate strategies to engage this population in the uptake of COVID-19 vaccination.

Description:

One particular group, African American and Latinx public housing residents, are facing adverse effects related to worsening social determinants and health disparities. Utilizing a community-driven approach, the overall objective of this proposed study is to increase COVID-19 vaccine uptake and completion the impact of COVID-19 among African American and Latinx public housing residents. Guided by the Community Based Participatory Model, the Information, Motivation, and Behavioral Skills (IMB) and the Transtheoretical Model will be utilized to carry out this intervention. Through this innovative program, we will establish Academic-Community Team for Improving Vaccine Acceptability and Targeted Engagement (ACTIVATE) program, which will develop leadership triads of public housing resident leaders, nurse practitioner students, and public health students to carry out this multilevel intervention.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Prevalence of vaccination uptake for COVID-19, influenza, and pneumonia using Vaccination History Self Report	1. By comparison of pre-, post- intervention, and 9- and 18-months follow-up data, we anticipate the following compared to baseline: a 40% change in completion of COVID-19 vaccination series	Intervention: 4 months; Follow-up Point: 3 months post-intervention
Secondary	Percentage of Participants Achieving Decreased Vaccine Hesitancy Levels of COVID-19 vaccine Using the NIH Toolbox Surveys on COVID-19	1. By comparison of pre-, post- intervention, and 3-months follow-up data, we anticipate the following compared to baseline: a 40% change in hesitancy toward COVID-19 vaccination.	Intervention: 4 months; Follow-up Point: 3 months post-intervention
Secondary	Percentage of Participants Achieving Increased Level of Behavior Change toward COVID-19 Vaccination Using the NIH Toolbox Surveys on COVID-19	2. By comparison of pre-, post- intervention, and 3-months follow-up data, we anticipate the following compared to baseline: a 40% change in their behavior stage of change toward COVID-19 vaccination	Intervention: 4 months; Follow-up Point: 3 months post-intervention
