Text message-based education intervention

The intervention consisted of enhanced behavioral and educational text messages, up to three messages each week, providing updates on COVID-19 testing and vaccination. The text messages included digitally delivered intervention content such as a video with low-literacy instructions for administering the rapid antigen tests, guidance if they tested positive (e.g., quarantine, notify contacts, wearing a mask), and other relevant strategies and content focused on increasing COVID-19 testing and vaccination.
