在服务不足的美国/墨西哥边境社区，COVID-19发病率的种族和民族差异非常明显。这些社区的工作和生活环境可能导致COVID-19感染和传播的风险增加，而缺乏检测又加剧了这种风险的增加。作为设计社区和文化定制的COVID-19检测计划的一部分，我们对圣伊西德罗边境地区的社区成员进行了调查。本研究的目的是表征圣伊西德罗地区联邦合格健康中心（FHQC）的产前患者、产前护理人员和儿科护理人员对COVID-19感染风险和获得检测的认知、态度和信念。通过一项横断面调查，收集了2020年12月29日至2021年4月2日期间圣伊西德罗地区接受COVID-19检测的经历和感知到的COVID-19感染风险的信息。总共分析了179份调查。大多数参与者被认为是女性（85%）和墨西哥/墨西哥裔美国人（75%）。超过一半（56%）的人年龄在25岁至34岁之间。感知风险：37%的人报告感染COVID-19的风险为中度至高度，50%的人报告感染风险为低至零。检测经验：约68%的人报告曾接受过COVID-19检测。在接受测试的人中，97%的人报告说他们很容易或很容易获得测试。不进行检测的原因包括有限的预约、费用、不感到不舒服以及担心在检测机构感染的风险。这项研究是了解加利福尼亚州圣伊西德罗美国/墨西哥边境附近的患者和社区成员对COVID-19风险认知和检测获取情况的重要第一步。在圣地亚哥县COVID-19感染率最高的美国/墨西哥边境社区，有一半的受访者表示，他们认为感染COVID-19的风险很低，甚至为零。
Racial and ethnic disparities in COVID-19 incidence are pronounced in underserved U.S./Mexico border communities. Working and living environments in these communities can lead to increased risk of COVID-19 infection and transmission, and this increased risk is exacerbated by lack of access to testing. As part of designing a community and culturally tailored COVID-19 testing program, we surveyed community members in the San Ysidro border region. The purpose of our study was to characterize knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs of prenatal patients, prenatal caregivers, and pediatric caregivers at a Federally Qualified Health Center (FHQC) in the San Ysidro region regarding perceived risk of COVID-19 infection and access to testing. A cross-sectional survey was used to collect information on experiences accessing COVID-19 testing and perceived risk of COVID-19 infection within San Ysidro between December 29, 2020 and April 2, 2021. A total of 179 surveys were analyzed. Most participants identified as female (85%) and as Mexican/Mexican American (75%). Over half (56%) were between the age of 25 and 34 years old. Perceived Risk: 37% reported moderate to high risk of COVID-19 infection, whereas 50% reported their risk low to none. Testing Experience: Approximately 68% reported previously being tested for COVID-19. Among those tested, 97% reported having very easy or easy access to testing. Reasons for not testing included limited appointment availability, cost, not feeling sick, and concern about risk of infection while at a testing facility. This study is an important first step to understand the COVID-19 risk perceptions and testing access among patients and community members living near the U.S./Mexico border in San Ysidro, California. In a US/Mexico border community with one of the highest rates of COVID-19 in San Diego County, half of the individuals surveyed reported their perceived risk of acquiring COVID-19 infection as low to none.
