Barriers to COVID-19 Testing Among American Indian and Alaska Native People: Comparing Perspectives of Patients and Providers

Overall, patient and provider perspectives were highly congruent on perceived barriers to and strategies to facilitate COVID-19 testing.

Research on barriers to testing for communicable diseases such as COVID-19 should systematically examine perspectives of both patients and providers to identify potentially effective interventions.
