Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
COVID-19
Interventions
Behavioral: COVID-19 Group Problem Solving
Behavioral: Standard of Care
Registration Number
NCT05248399
Lead Sponsor
The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to adapt and pilot test the feasibility of implementing a corner-based risk reduction program that aims to assist Latino day laborers (LDL) in their efforts to adhere to COVID-19 mitigation practices, including receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, using personal protective equipment (PPE), and practicing social distancing.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With Change in COVID-19 Vaccination Status Assessed by a SurveyBaseline, 4 weeks post intervention
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Mask Wearing Frequency as Assessed by Change in Mean Mask Use Total Score on a SurveyBaseline, 4 weeks post intervention

Participants were asked seven items measuring how often they had worn a mask in different situations (e.g. while at the corner) in the last 30 days (baseline) or since their baseline survey (one month post test). Responses were recorded as 1 = Never; 2 = Sometimes; 3 = Many Times; 4 = All the Time. Participants could refuse to answer any item or respond that the particular item did not apply to them (for example., they do not wear a mask on public transport because they do not take public transport) . These responses were treated as missing.

Mask Use score was computed as the mean score of the items with a non-missing response, and mean mask use total score could range from 1 to 4. Change in mean mask use score is reported, and change score was computed by subtracting the baseline score from the post test score, with a negative change score indicating a decrease in mask use.

Change in Social Distancing as Assessed by Change in Mean Social Distancing Total Score on a SurveyBaseline, 4 weeks post intervention

Participants were asked six items measuring how often they had practiced Social Distancing in different situations (e.g. while at the worksite) in the last 30 days (baseline) or since their baseline survey (one month post test). Responses were recorded as 1 = Never; 2 = Sometimes; 3 = Many Times; 4 = All the Time. Participants could refuse to answer any item or respond that the particular item did not apply to them. These responses were treated as missing

Social Distancing score was computed as the mean score of the items with a non-missing response, and mean mask use total score could range from 1 to 4. Change in mean mask use score is reported and was computed by subtracting the baseline score from the post test score, with a negative change score indicating a decrease in social distancing.
