Timeline
Interventions
Navigation services include assessment and support with service referrals. Each participant will meet with a peer navigator in person or on Zoom Conferencing for 30 minutes to go over results from their social and health needs assessment that is retrieved from the baseline assessment. The navigator shares information about COVID-19, answers questions about testing, and makes referrals to other needed services
Brief Counseling is a 15-minute post-COVID-19 test session delivered by a trained licensed clinician in person or via Zoom Conferencing. In the session, the clinician shares the test results and offers recommendations and information about COVID-19 treatment and prevention.
Critical Dialogue includes three one-hour-long, open-group-sessions facilitated in person or online by a trained licensed facilitator. Group critical dialogue is prompted by thematic images developed by the NCCB to foster a deeper understanding of how systematic stigma, feelings of rage as victims of discrimination, and/or apathy may impact participants' beliefs and behaviors related to COVID-19 and empower participants to make critical choices to protect their health and the health of their communities.
Referral will consist of a five-minute phone call where an outreach worker offers participants information about COVID-19 testing and encourages them to get tested within one week. A digital brochure containing IL recommendations is e-mailed or texted to participants.
