CO-CREATE-Ex: Community-engaged Optimization of COVID-19 Rapid Evaluation And TEsting Experiences

The goal of this project was to use a flexible and sustainable approach that promotes responsiveness to both the needs of the community and the changing pandemic context while reducing COVID-19 testing disparities. This project refined, and tested three implementation strategies prioritized by the Community and Scientific Advisory Board (CSAB). These three strategies include: (1) current, walk-up free testing, (2) promotores-led COVID-19 test counseling and preventive care reminders, (3) vending machines that dispense FDA-authorized self-testing kits.
