Vale+Tú Salud: Preventing COVID-19 in Latino Day Laborers

This study, called "Vale+Tú Salud," is testing a program designed to help Latino day laborers prevent COVID-19. It compares two approaches: one involves interactive group discussions and activities about COVID-19 risks and protective behaviors, and the other provides a prevention flyer and resource list. Some participants in the group discussion arm will also receive a follow-up phone call. Researchers want to see if these programs improve COVID-19 vaccination rates, hand washing frequency, and connections to community resources after one month. You may be able to join if you identify as Hispanic or Latino, are at a corner looking for work, are at least 18 years old, and have not had COVID-19 symptoms in the past 48 hours. The current status of this study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 150 participants.
