Using Open Contest and Neuro-Influence Experiment to Develop and Evaluate PrEP Promotion Messages for High Risk Men

项目摘要 拉丁裔社区在新冠肺炎病例、发病率和死亡率方面存在巨大差异。使用 预计未来几个月新冠肺炎检测技术和疫苗开发将取得进展， 如果不能提供公平的检测机会和未来的疫苗接种，将加剧 在拉丁裔社区中可以看到新冠肺炎。在哪些方面仍然存在重大的知识差距 与拉丁裔社区和社区接受新冠肺炎测试相关的关键可修改的促进者和障碍 如何与拉美裔社区接触并建立信任关系，以发展文化和语言 一致的新冠肺炎测试程序。这项建议的总体目标是：(1)更好地理解 可能影响新冠肺炎测试可获得性、可接受性和接受度的多层次决定因素，以及(2) 使用众包公开竞赛制定文化和语言一致的新冠肺炎测试策略 在马里兰州巴尔的摩、科罗拉多州丹佛和佛罗里达州坦帕湾的拉丁裔社区中。这个研究团队拥有广泛的 在拉美裔社区的社区参与、研究和项目实施方面的经验。已建成 在与每个研究地点的社区合作伙伴建立合作关系的基础上，本研究中提出的活动 包括社区合作伙伴充分参与研究设计、实施和传播。 通过该项目开发的结果将直接为社区参与的新冠肺炎测试计划提供信息 以及有针对性的战略，使受到不成比例影响的种族和少数民族社区参与进来 受新冠肺炎大流行的影响。我们将积极协调和共享数据和协议与其他承授人、 CDCC和其他由RADx-UP计划支持的研究。

Project Summary Latinx communities have experienced profound disparities in COVID-19 cases, morbidity, and mortality. With anticipated advances in COVID-19 testing technologies and vaccine development in the next few months, failing to provide equitable access to testing and future vaccination will exacerbate the profound disparities in COVID-19 seen among Latinx communities. Significant gaps in knowledge remain with respect to what are the key modifiable facilitators and barriers associated with COVID-19 testing uptake in Latinx communities and how to engage and build trusting relationships with Latinx communities to develop culturally and linguistically congruent COVID-19 testing programs. This proposal's overarching objectives are (1) to better understand multi-level determinants likely to influence COVID-19 testing access, acceptability, and uptake, and (2) to develop culturally and linguistically congruent COVID-19 testing strategies using crowdsourcing open contests among Latinx communities in Baltimore, MD; Denver, Co; and Tampa Bay, FL. This study team has extensive experience in community engagement, research, and program implementation with Latinx communities. Built upon established collaborations with community partners in each study site, activities proposed in this study include full participation of community partners in research design, implementation, and dissemination. Findings developed through this project will directly inform community-engaged COVID-19 testing programs and as well as targeted strategies to engage racial and ethnic minority communities disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. We will actively coordinate and share data and protocols with other grantees, the CDCC, and other research supported by the RADx-UP program.
