{ "Boosting COVID-19 Vaccination in Latino Communities", "This study, called REDES, is looking at the best ways to encourage COVID-19 vaccination within Latino communities. It compares two approaches: one where participants learn \"motivational interviewing\" (a way to help others make their own health decisions) to discuss vaccines with their friends and family, and another where participants receive information about vaccine safety and effectiveness. The goal is to see if teaching motivational interviewing helps more friends and connections of Latino adults get vaccinated. To join, you must be 18 or older, identify as Hispanic/Latino, live in Maryland, and have received at least one COVID-19 vaccine/booster in the last 12 months. The study will track vaccination rates among participants' networks for up to 18 months to see which method is more effective.", "design": "This is an interventional study planning to enroll 900 participants. It compares two behavioral interventions: REDES (motivational interviewing training) and a control group (brief vaccine information).", "commitments": "Participants will receive training on either motivational interviewing or COVID-19 vaccine information. Unvaccinated friends and family members of participants will also be recruited. All participants will be followed at 6, 12, and 18 months after starting the study.", "compensation": "Not stated in the trial record.", "follow_up": "Participants will be followed for up to 18 months after their initial enrollment.", }
