Understanding adaptations in a community-vetted COVID-19 testing program.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Adaptations are expected when complex public health interventions are implemented in dynamically and rapidly changing real-world settings, as seen for many programs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Systematic documentation of adaptations to intervention components and strategies are critical when assessing their impact on implementation. Here, we report processes used for tracking and evaluating adaptations made during the CO-CREATE project, which aimed to address COVID-19 testing disparities in the San Ysidro US/Mexico border community.

Methods

The study utilized a longitudinal, prospective, mixed methods approach to systematically document and assess adaptations across the pre-implementation, early and mid/late-implementation phases of the project. Aggregated from
