Study Description: This project evaluated a systematic and scalable community-engaged test and treat protocol that provided rapid access to COVID-19 at-home tests for self-administration, next steps/guidance and education, and information on local resources to facilitate treatment in underserved populations. The protocol was designed and implemented in two communities, Pitt County, NC, and Merced County, CA, in collaboration with key community partners over a 15-month period. As part of this test and treat protocol, a community engagement toolkit as a resource was evaluated to implement community-based test distribution and test and treat responses in underserved populations. The central hypothesis was that the toolkit will enable rapid design and implementation of a community driven, scientifically robust, and impactful COVID-19 test and public health intervention.
