Abstract:
The Community Engagement Alliance (CEAL) Against COVID-19 is a national initiative to address disparities and misinformation surrounding COVID-19. The South Central Texas CEAL implemented community-based interventions to engage vulnerable populations, counter misinformation, and address the health impacts of COVID-19. Through community engagement, community-driven data gathering, and health information dissemination through trusted partners, this initiative fostered trust and collaboration among diverse community organizations, shared resources, and developed culturally tailored health messaging. This community-engaged program's success highlights its sustainability. (Am J Public Health. 2026;116(1):90-94. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2025.308277).
