COVID-19: Healthy Oregon (Oregon Saludable): Together We Can (Juntos Podemos)

The global SARS-CoV-2 pandemic that causes the severe respiratory illness COVID-19 is the worst health crisis that the United States has faced in a century. Although this highly contagious virus has infected millions of Americans already, the disease burdens are disproportionately born by historically underserved populations such as Latinx communities. This disparity is notable in Oregon, where the 13% of the population that is Latinx represents approximately 44% of COVID-19 cases. An urgent need exists to reach Oregon's Latinx community to prevent SARS-CoV-2 transmission. The overall goal of this study is to implement a Promotores de Salud intervention to increase the reach, access, uptake, and impact of testing in Latinx communities in Oregon. This project will fully integrate with the National institutes of Health (NIH) Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (RADx) consortium and its Coordination and Data Collection Center (CDCC). With guidance and leadership from the study's Latinx Community and Scientific Advisory Board, 38 testing sites have been established to test the Promotores de Salud intervention. The investigators will test whether the Promotores de Salud intervention will increase testing rates and promote better health behaviors in communities over time. The investigators will test the intervention using a randomized control trial comparing the intervention to county outreach services as usual. Evaluation of the Promotores de Salud intervention held during a testing event (compared to distribution of a pamphlet only) will test whether culturally competent education results in greater use of strategies that reduce transmission of COVID-19 at the community and individual level. The investigators have designed a working group structure with teams focused on: Community Engagement, Molecular Biology, Data Science, and Implementation Science. These working groups are coordinated by an Administrative Hub and guided by the study's Latinx Community and Scientific
