Bilingual digital health intervention to improve COVID-19 self-testing intentions among Hispanic adults
Our findings suggest that the bilingual digital health intervention may have a positive impact on enhancing intentions and willingness to self-administer a COVID-19 antigen rapid test. These findings highlight the potential of culturally and linguistically tailored digital health interventions to reduce barriers and promote access to at-home COVID-19 testing in Hispanic communities. Notably, to help alleviate cost barriers associated with purchasing COVID-19 rapid antigen test kits, the research team collaborated with a highly qualified team of Community Health Workers (CHWs) to disseminate approximately 4,500 free COVID-19 test kits throughout the community.
