Latinx communities are disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, with Spanish-speaking Latinx communities carrying even heavier burdens of infection, hospitalization, and mortality. Major barriers to COVID-19 testing and vaccination exist, and a profound need remains to understand and address the social, ethical, and behavioral implications (SEBI) of COVID-19 testing and vaccination within Latinx communities. Our community-academic partnership proposes a rigorous mixed-methods, community-based participatory research study to better understand the SEBI of COVID-19 testing and vaccination and to refine and test a novel and culturally congruent intervention that integrates two evidenced-based strategies - peer navigation and mHealth - to increase COVID-19 testing and vaccination within Spanish-speaking Latinx communities.

拉丁裔群体（Latinx）受新冠疫情的影响远超其人口占比，其中讲西班牙语的拉丁裔群体承受了更为沉重的感染、住院与死亡负担。当前新冠病毒检测与疫苗接种仍存在诸多主要障碍，学界与社区仍亟需理解并解决拉丁裔群体内新冠检测与疫苗接种所涉及的社会、伦理及行为影响（SEBI）。本研究依托社区-学术合作模式，提出一项采用严谨混合研究方法的基于社区的参与式研究，旨在更深入地解析新冠检测与疫苗接种的社会、伦理及行为影响，并优化并测试一项契合文化语境的新型干预方案。该方案整合了两项循证策略——同伴引导与移动健康（mHealth）——以提升讲西班牙语的拉丁裔群体的新冠检测与疫苗接种率。
