Study Summary

FHCSD, in partnership with the San Diego State University Research Foundation, has implemented a multilevel intervention to increase COVID-19 vaccine completion rates and accelerate vaccination uptake among Latinos. Participating clinics will be randomized to either a Standard Clinical Practice, consisting of standard clinic-based strategies to promote COVID-19 vaccine uptake among patients, or a Multilevel Intervention, consisting of an individualized/tailored intervention delivered by Health Educators working within the clinics, plus a multi-component community intervention delivered by community promotores. This study will test the immediate and short-term effectiveness of the multilevel intervention to increase COVID-19 vaccine uptake, as well as its long-term effects on behavioral, mental, and physical health outcomes. In addition, this project will assess implementation outcomes, including program acceptability and feasibility by patients, clinic staff, and the community environment.
