Treatment and study plan

COVID-19 Group Problem Solving

Behavioral

This group will have three core components to be delivered at the corner by trained data collectors. Interactive dialogue component that 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 their and their peers' risk for COVID-19 transmission. Navigation Component will consist of providing information and linking LDLs with social service providers that can help buffer some of the social and economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the "Multiplicador de salud"/Health Multiplier component that builds from the theoretical and practice-based method of mobilizing social networks and social support, defined as encouraging social networks to provide informational, emotional, appraisal, and instrumental support as cited in the Taxonomy of Behavior Change Methods.

Standard of Care

Booster Session

Behavioral

Participants will have a 10 - 15 minute "booster' session about a week after engaging in the small group intervention. They will be contacted by phone and the booster will consist of brief prompts to engage participants in a discussion to encourage them to act on their personal commitments to protect themselves and others against COVID. They will also be encouraged to seek COVID related resources based on the information provided during the small group intervention.
