Creating a Sustainable Infrastructure for SARS-CoV-2 Testing (COVID-19) at Syringe Exchange Programs

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Health Behavior

In brief

PWIDs have been an underserved population in the context of the current pandemic; thus, little is known about the prevalence of COVID-19 and the acceptability and possible reach of testing for COVID-19 among PWIDs. To address this gap, this study leverages a current partnership with HIV Alliance (HIVA) in Oregon and our Community and Scientific Advisory Board to support implementation and sustainability of a COVID-19 testing program. Specifically, we will use community-based participatory approaches to develop, implement, and evaluate a COVID-19 testing program offered through HIVA's Syringe Services Programs (SSP), a natural point of care for PWIDs. The COVID-19 testing program will include procedures for sample collection, transmission of specimens to the University of Oregon CLIA-certified laboratory, and results reporting. Our clinical trial is a randomized control trial focused improving the uptake of testing through a motivational enhancement intervention: Connect2Test.
