Intervention to Prevent Household and Community Spread of COVID-19 Among Latinos

This study will examine the effectiveness of a 6-week behavioral intervention for patients who are recently diagnosed with COVID-19. Patients and their households will be randomized to one of two groups (Standard of Care vs. Enhanced Standard of Care). Patients in the Standard-of-Care group will receive established clinical care and follow-up. Patients in the Enhanced Standard-of-Care group will receive standard-of-care plus tailored, real-time text messaging and virtual counseling delivered by promotores/as. We hypothesize that households in the Enhanced Standard-of-Care group will have fewer (any new) household COVID-19 infectivity rates compared to households in the standard-of-care group post-intervention.

Inclusion Criteria: Adult patients of a federally qualified health center (+18yrs) who test positive for COVID-19 will be invited to participate in the COVID Prevention Program.Exclusion Criteria: 1) planning to move out of state in the next year, 2) cognitive impairment that is contraindicated to receiving counseling and following behavioral strategies (e.g., schizophrenia, Down syndrome), and 3) living in a transitionary home or homeless.
