Summary

The "Social network diffusion of COVID-19 prevention for diverse Criminal Legal Involved Communities" study will engage people who have been interacted with law enforcement in COVID-19 prevention (testing and/or vaccination) through social network mobilization combined with theory-driven COVID-19 prevention messaging delivered in an interactive group format. Eligible individuals will be enrolled into a two-arm 1:1 randomized controlled trial design. 800 participants will be enrolled into either a: 1) COVID-19 prevention education arm (Education Arm) or, 2) a network mobilization change agent intervention (Motivational Arm).

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Education

Testimonial videos will be played including those that describe the testing experience and their motivations for testing. This approach combines self-affirmation with misinformation correction to take advantage of the ability to promote adaptive COVID-19 prevention behaviors. The self-affirmation activity will always precede the presentation of the testimonial videos as leading with misinformation correction can be construed by some as a threat to one's self-adequacy.

OTHER

Motivational

This is a Type I network intervention that includes specific training on mobilization of network members. Training occurs in a group-based setting of 8-10 enrolled participants facilitated by a community facilitator and Motivational Interviewing trained interventionist. At 30 days, a 15-20-minute phone booster communication session reinforces the intervention content
