This study found that an intervention using critical dialogues improved COVID-19 prevention knowledge among racially minoritized individuals. The community-based participatory research approach enhanced understanding of pandemic information acquisition and protective behaviors.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Health Equity
- Community-Based Participatory Research
Background:
- Racialized minorities face unique challenges in acquiring COVID-19 prevention knowledge.
- Socioeconomic factors significantly influence health information access and decision-making.
- Understanding these dynamics is crucial for effective public health interventions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine changes in COVID-19 prevention knowledge over time using a longitudinal design.
- To evaluate an intervention combining critical dialogues and illustration within a community-based participatory research framework.
- To explore how socioeconomic conditions affect COVID-19 knowledge acquisition and protective behaviors in minoritized populations.
Main Methods:
- A longitudinal intervention study with 3 time points.
- Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) principles guided the intervention.
- Mixed methods approach integrating quantitative data on knowledge and qualitative data on participant experiences.
Main Results:
- Participants who completed the intervention demonstrated higher COVID-19 prevention knowledge.
- Qualitative data provided context on pandemic experiences and information-seeking behaviors.
- The intervention fostered engagement in decision-making regarding protective measures.
Conclusions:
- Interventions incorporating critical dialogues and CBPR can effectively enhance COVID-19 prevention knowledge in minoritized communities.
- Addressing socioeconomic determinants is vital for improving health literacy during pandemics.
- This study highlights the value of mixed-methods research in understanding complex health behaviors.
