Abstract:
Migrant families face challenges to health and well-being from COVID-19. We deployed Mobile Health for Migrant Health (mHealth-4-Mhealth) to migrant families, a household-based program with mHealth-assisted at-home testing and linkages to community resources. We assessed the reach, adoption, and implementation of the program among rural migrant families enrolled in the Title IC Nebraska Migrant Education Program from February 2022 to July 2023. We describe successful adoption and longitudinal use of mHealth screening tools for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection risk and social determinants of health.
