简要总结
This project is part of a competitive revision to accelerate COVID-19 testing in underserved populations. The overall aim is to implement strategies to expand COVID testing in hotspot communities in MA, through 6 community health center (CHC)-community partnerships. A base strategy will be implemented at all sites. A tailored strategy unique to local populations will be added and tested in a stepped wedge design.

结局指标
主要结局
Percentage Change in Testing During the Study Compared to Tests Completed Prior to Study Start
时间窗: 85 weeks post-implementation compared to 35 weeks pre-implementation
Acceleration of covid testing volume during covid surges, estimated as the percent change in weekly covid testing volume trend for each 10% increase in covid cases. A slope value was estimated from a segmented regression model for the entire study period, which was then used to calculate a difference between the post- and pre-implementation periods.
