Study Description: This 2-arm clustered, randomized community trial tested a multilevel, COVID-19 testing and linkage to care (e.g., health insurance, medical appointments, community resources, contact tracing) intervention against a nontailored, attention-control condition on uptake of COVID-19 testing with adult African American church-affiliated members at 6 months. Contact tracing approval (beliefs and participation contact tracing) and COVID-19 prevention behaviors were also examined. Findings from this study could provide a theory-based, multilevel model for delivering scalable, wide-reaching COVID-19 testing and linkage to care services, including contact tracing, by supporting African American faith leaders with culturally-appropriate, easy-to-use tools and health agency partnerships.
