You & Me: Test and Treat study protocol for promoting COVID-19 test and treatment access to underserved populations.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Infections and deaths from the COVID-19 pandemic have disproportionately affected underserved populations. A community-engaged approach that supports decision making around safe COVID-19 practices is needed to promote equitable access to testing and treatment. You & Me: Test and Treat (YMTT) will evaluate a systematic and scalable community-engaged protocol that provides rapid access to COVID-19 at-home tests, education, guidance on next steps, and information on local resources to facilitate treatment in underserved populations.

Methods

This direct-to-participant observational study will distribute at-home, self-administered, COVID-19 testing kits to people in designated communities. YMTT features a Public Health 3.0 framework and Toolkit prescribing a tiered app
