About this study

Official title: Enhancing Rapid Health Response in National Crises: Feasibility of Rapid COVID-19 Testing in Disadvantaged Populations Through Community-Academic Partnerships

The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of establishing severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) testing at a federally-qualified health center (FQHC) during a global health crisis to mitigate COVID-19 disparities in socioeconomically disadvantaged populations.

Read the detailed description

Accurate and early diagnosis of COVID-19 infections are critical for rapid initiation of quarantine interventions to reduce population spread and to provide appropriate medical care to reduce related morbidity and mortality during the current pandemic. The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of establishing a drive-through rapid COVID-19 testing site at a federally-qualified health center (FQHC) during a global health crisis to mitigate health consequences in socioeconomically disadvantaged populations. The investigators also seek to evaluate the effectiveness of community-driven communication in increasing access to rapid testing for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in this population. This will inform public health decisions about improving access to testing for SARS-CoV-2 in underserved populations, particularly those receiving care in FQHCs or community health centers.

The specific aims of the study are to:

Aim 1. To determine the feasibility of a community-engaged research partnership to support rapid SARS-CoV-2 testing for symptomatic patients of all ages in the underserved population during the COVID-19 crisis. A rapid testing strategy (drive-through testing site) at a FQHC using Mayo Clinic Laboratory (MCL) diagnostic processing will be piloted.

Aim 2. To compare the effectiveness of community-driven messaging in increasing uptake of rapid SARS-CoV-2 testing compared with usual sources of health information. A simple random sample will be drawn of FQHC patients (N=1000, age 18+) with 1:1 randomization of communication about COVID-19 and availability of rapid testing from the FQHC versus usual sources (control).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Pilot a rapid SARS-CoV-2 testing strategyDiagnostic test

    Rapid testing strategy at an FQHC using Mayo Clinic Laboratory (MCL) diagnostic processing with a real-time polymerase chain reaction assay for SARS-CoV-2 and a Mayo Clinic drive-through collection protocol.

  • Community-driven messages to promote COVID-19 testingOther

    A one-time communication about the availability of COVID-19 testing at the FQHC to patients randomized to the intervention group using any available means of communication (text and/or mailed letter).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Intervention Feasibility Measures - FQHC Staff

    FQHC staff will complete a comprehensive electronic survey adapted from the Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM), Intervention Appropriateness Measure (IAM), and Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM) instrument to assess feasibility of community-engaged research partnership to support testing site (Weiner BJ, et al. Implementation Science. 2017;12(1):108.).

    Measured: 6-months after intervention start

  2. 2. Uptake of rapid SARS-CoV-2 testing strategy at the FQHC- Effectiveness of community-driven messaging to patients

    Comparison of number of tests completed per group (intervention vs. control)

    Measured: 6-months after intervention start

  3. Uptake of rapid SARS-CoV-2 testing strategy at the FQHC

    Comparison of number of tests completed per group (intervention vs. control)

    Measured: 9-months after intervention start

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Intervention Satisfaction Measures - Participant Satisfaction with COVID-19 testing

    All randomized patients will complete a comprehensive survey with questions probing satisfaction with the drive-through testing site (ease of use, process, return of results, etc.).

    Measured: 6-months after intervention start

  2. 5. Intervention Satisfaction Measures - Participant Satisfaction with community-driven messaging

    Compare the satisfaction of community-driven messaging on availability of rapid SARS-CoV-2 testing at the FQHC (intervention vs. control)

    Measured: 6-months after intervention start

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jul 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Intervention Feasibility Measures - FQHC Staff (time frame: 6-months after intervention start). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Jul 2021.
