About this study

NPIs that are community-driven and developed in collaboration with diverse partners, including community members, public health agencies, and researchers may offer an acceptable and effective approach to reducing viral transmission and addressing individual and socio-structural barriers that lead to worse virus-related outcomes. Our study goals are to use a crowdsourcing open call to identify exceptional ideas (e.g., messages, videos, communication and dissemination strategies) that promote disease testing and encourage the public to practice the 3 Ws, referred to as health-promotive behaviors.
