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.

The COVID-19 Group Problem Solving component incorporates popular education activities aimed at: developing social cohesion among LDLs; building awareness about COVID-19 risks and protective behaviors; and developing a plan of action to reduce theirs and their peers' risk for COVID-19 transmission. The intervention will be developed to take place over a ~30-45-minute period in order to fit within the corner context of LDLs waiting for employment, and will be delivered by promoters from our team and the community partner agency, Fe & Justicia Workers Center. Following the completion of the intervention, a health promoter will be trained as a navigator assist participants who wish to get vaccinated by providing them with information about near-by vaccination sites that they can visit to get vaccinated. If needed, the promotor will assist them with making their vaccine appointment.
The standard of care consists of the distribution of brochures containing COVID-19 prevention information.
Time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks post intervention
Time frame: Baseline, 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.
