Implementation of COVID-19 Testing Strategies in Community Health Centers
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating RADx CHCs testing intervention strategy and Usual care control for Covid19. Completed, enrolled 6 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
This project is part of a competitive revision to accelerate COVID-19 testing in underserved populations. The overall aim is to implement strategies to expand COVID testing in hotspot communities in MA, through 6 community health center (CHC)-community partnerships. A base strategy will be implemented at all sites. A tailored strategy unique to local populations will be added and tested in a stepped wedge design.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The study team will support partner CHCs to implement workflows with some combination of dedicated testing staff, off-site testing, outreach/communications to priority populations, and linkage with local contact tracing systems. Implementation support will take the form of practice facilitation, rapid cycle testing (by supporting CHCs to review their internal data to assess the impact of workflow changes), and expert consultation from the research team on testing technology and testing location design.
CHCs implement testing strategies in accordance with their usual supports.
