RECRUITING

A CHW Intervention to Identify and Decrease Barriers to COVID 19 Testing & Vaccination

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The objective of this study is to compare the results of a COVID-19 specific curriculum led by LACDHS Community Health Workers (CHWs) from these same communities of safety-net patients to effectively increase COVID-19 testing and vaccination for individual patients, and to facilitate needed healthcare in a timely manner for the safety net health system, and to develop a sustained public health presence in these communities to build trust and preparedness for critical COVID-19 related future needs.
