Xavier RCMI Renewal Application-Administrative Core

项目总结 路易斯安那州泽维尔大学的研究人员提出了一种快速疫苗教育 模型将在新冠肺炎测试点交付，将在药店、诊所交付 以及紧急护理。有记录的疫苗迟疑和疫苗可获得性减少的趋势 对农村社区的影响不成比例，特别是居住在 那些社区。目标人群是非洲裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人、越南人 美国人和那些生活在农村社区的人。这项建议的具体目标是： 具体目标1：在新冠肺炎点上实施快速疫苗教育模式 在诊所、药店和紧急护理诊所进行测试。调查人员预计增长15% 在新冠肺炎中参与疫苗教育的人群中疫苗完成率较高。 具体目标2：评估新冠肺炎疫苗接种的障碍，包括：疫苗迟疑， 目标人群的疫苗接种情况和其他健康社会决定因素 新冠肺炎在药店、急救诊所和诊所的测试要点。 具体目标3：评估卫生系统提供疫苗教育的相关障碍 在医疗支持人员中，如药房技术员、护士助手、医务人员 助理和药房实习生。 方法：采用以社区为基础的参与式研究模式招募个人 与现有合作伙伴共同确定375名患者在 由训练有素的医护人员进行新冠肺炎检测。招生目标是：非洲人占65%- 美国人、10%的西班牙裔、10%的越南人和20%的农村居民。 参与者将完成由Support Healthcare提供的快速新冠肺炎疫苗教育 测试地点的专业人员。将通过链接对疫苗完成情况进行监测 (路易斯安那州免疫网络)访问。对于目标3，医疗保健参与者将完成 在护理点评估卫生系统在疫苗教育方面的障碍的前后调查 在医疗支持人员中。 影响：本研究旨在了解与健康相关的信念和行为 接种疫苗一次过即可获得医疗保健，新冠肺炎检测。这种干预性方法 将有助于制定战略，改善弱势社区的新冠肺炎疫苗接种。这 格兰特将促进培训早期研究人员并使卫生研究人员多样化 因为研究人员是少数族裔和女性的代表不足。

PROJECT SUMMARY The investigators at Xavier University of Louisiana propose a rapid vaccine education model to be delivered at the point of COVID-19 testing to be delivered at pharmacies, clinics and urgent cares. Documented trends of vaccine hesitancy and decreased vaccine access has disproportionately impacted rural communities, particularly African Americans who reside in those communities. The target population is African-Americans, Hispanics, Vietnamese Americans and those living in rural communities. The Specific Aims of this proposal are: Specific Aim #1: To implement a rapid vaccine education model at the point of COVID-19 testing in clinics, pharmacies and urgent care clinics. Investigators anticipate a 15% increase in COVID-19 vaccine completion rates among those who participate in the vaccine education. Specific Aim #2: To assess barriers to COVID-19 vaccination, including: vaccine hesitancy, vaccine access and other social determinants of health among the target population using the point of COVID-19 testing at pharmacies, urgent care clinics and clinics. Specific Aim #3: To assess health system’s related barriers to offering vaccine education among healthcare support staff such as pharmacy technicians, nurse’s aides, medical assistants and pharmacy interns. Method: Individuals will be recruited using a community-based participatory research model with existing partners to identify 375 patients to receive COVID-19 vaccine education at the point of COVID-19 testing by trained healthcare workers. The target enrollment is: 65% African- Americans, 10% Hispanic, 10% Vietnamese, and 20% residents of rural communities. Participants will complete a rapid COVID-19 vaccine education delivered by support healthcare professionals at the testing locations. Monitoring for vaccine completion will occur by Links© (Louisiana Immunization Network) access. For Aim #3, healthcare participants will complete a pre and post survey to assess health system’s barriers to vaccine education at the point of care among healthcare support staff. Impact: This researcher aims to understand health related beliefs and behaviors related to vaccination at one point of healthcare access, COVID-19 testing. This interventional approach will help to develop strategies to improve COVID-19 vaccination in vulnerable communities. This grant will facilitate training early stage investigators and diversify the health research workforce as the researchers are underrepresented minorities and women.
