RADx-UP- Impact of Community Health Worker Deployment

CHWs will conduct home visits to provide diabetes and COVID-19 health education based on the participant's needs, interests, and clinical health assessment results. All adults in the household will be invited to participate in the health education discussions. At each visit, the CHW will use diabetes management and COVID-19 educational materials to facilitate and inform discussions. CHWs will also make available at-home COVID-19 testing kits with instructions for the patient and their household family members. The discussion of COVID-19 beliefs, perceptions, and related behaviors will be raised during a later visit, i.e., after rapport and trust has been established and if it has not been raised by the participants during the earlier visits. In addition, CHWs will help schedule vaccination and healthcare appointments upon participant's interest.
