Summary

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has created a "state of emergency" for African Americans in the US. Recent findings indicate 31% of adults self-reported "wait and see" of the COVID-19 vaccine, of which 16% were African American. This project seeks to test the feasibility and impact of a multi-layered, culturally-appropriate social marketing intervention targeting COVID-19 vaccine hesitant (VH) African Americans to increase vaccine confidence, uptake, and completion of multi-dose vaccine series in Nashville/Davidson County, Tennessee. This study's novelty lies in being the first to assess feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a multi-layered, culturally-appropriate social marketing intervention to promote COVID-19 vaccination among African Americans in TN. Clinical significance is increased vaccine uptake and decreased COVID-19 burden and disparities.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

YourCoViDVaxFacts

The intervention will be delivered via multiple strategies- social media (YouTube, Facebook), radio, newspaper, tv ads, community partner networks. Participants receive culturally-tailored message on COVID-19 and the vaccine. The strategies will have a link that will open to a website that is optimized for viewing on a computer or mobile phone which has the look and feel of an app, but without requiring the user to download anything to the phone. On the website, participants will be prompted to select their top concerns from a list. Based on the responses, the top barriers or need will each be mapped to a corresponding educational message, which will be displayed to the user with appropriate images or graphics.
