Community Care Intervention to Decrease COVID-19 Vaccination Inequities
This study is testing if a program using Community Health Workers (CHWs) can help more adults with ongoing health problems get up-to-date with their COVID-19 vaccines. CHWs are trusted people from the community who can help address reasons why someone might not be vaccinated, like understanding information or facing difficulties getting to a clinic. If you join, you would receive up to three one-on-one sessions with a CHW, in English or Spanish. These sessions will focus on your specific reasons for not being fully vaccinated and use supportive conversations to encourage vaccination. The study will look at whether more people accept and get their COVID-19 vaccine after these sessions. This study is currently recruiting participants.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study planning to enroll 800 participants. You would be randomly assigned to either receive the CHW intervention or not.
- What's involved
- You would receive up to three psychoeducational sessions with a Community Health Worker. Your COVID-19 vaccine acceptance and uptake will be measured at the beginning of the study and again after 3 months.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your vaccination status will be checked at the start of the study and again after 3 months.

What this trial measures
- COVID-19 vaccine acceptanceBaseline and 3 months
COVID-19 vaccine acceptance at 3 months is measured by a survey self-report survey item asking participants to rate the following statement on a 5-to Likert scale (from 1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree): "If I was not up-to-date with the COVID-19 vaccines recommended for me, I would get the missing vaccinations." This variable is dichotomized to COVID-19 vaccine acceptance (0 = strongly disagree/disagree/neutral; 1 = agree/strongly agree)
- COVID-19 vaccine uptakeBaseline and 3 months
COVID-19 vaccine uptake is defined based on information gathered by multiple sources combining data obtained from patient survey self-reports, EHR data, and Healthix data. We also confirm receipt of the vaccine by asking the participant to see their COVID-19 vaccination card. Vaccination extracted data is from Healthix, the largest Regional Health Information Organization (RHIO) and from a wide array of facilities providing vaccinations will be pulled, including hospitals, health centers, ambulatory care sites, community vaccination sites, and pharmacies.
