Bilingual digital health intervention to improve COVID-19 self-testing intentions among Hispanic adults.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Testing remains one of the most effective strategies for reducing the spread of COVID-19. COVID-19 rapid antigen tests are well-suited for at-home use; however, several barriers, including language, hinder the widespread adoption of self-testing. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the impact of a bilingual digital health intervention on self-efficacy, intentions, and willingness to self-administer a COVID-19 antigen rapid test.

Methods

Participants (N = 150) were randomly assigned to one of two experimental conditions: (1) an intervention group who received the bilingual digital health intervention, or (2) a control group who received the standard iHealth® instructions typically included with COVID-19 antigen rapid test kits.
