Facilitating COVID-19 At-Home Collection Testing Among Korean American Families Through Korean Schools in Northern California
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Education, COVID-19 testing kits, and 1 other intervention for Educational Activities. Completed, enrolled 259 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
In collaboration with Korean Schools of Northern California, the investigators will test if a community-based intervention delivered by lay health educators (LHEs) increases testing uptake among Korean Americans. A pilot cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) with 300 participants from about 12 Korean Schools will be conducted to evaluate the efficacy of the LHE-led intervention in promoting COVID-19 testing. Participating schools will recruit Korean Schoolteachers as LHEs. According to the group assignment of schools where participants are recruited, the LHE group participants will receive 1) LHE outreach/support, 2) COVID-19 at-home antigen test kits, and 3) the instruction to use the kit while the control group participants will receive test kits and the instruction. Participants will complete an online survey at baseline, weeks 4, and 8. The primary outcome is the COVID-19 testing receipt. The secondary outcomes are intention to get tested, perceived accuracy, benefits and risks of testing, perceived barriers to testing, understanding of negative or positive results, and family members' testing receipt.
