The primary objective of this project is to evaluate the role of patient navigation in promoting timely follow-up of abnormal breast imaging findings in patient populations that have been most severely impacted by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. This project aims to assess the impact of patient navigation as an intervention tool in patient populations that are most at risk for delayed follow-up. The investigators hypothesize that patient navigation services may be an effective way to mitigate the impact of the pandemic by decreasing the risk of a delayed breast cancer diagnosis and promoting timely diagnostic follow-up.

Background: People who get COVID-19 have a wide range of symptoms. They also recover from COVID-19 in different ways. In this study, researchers will use survey data to describe the different ways people experience and recover from COVID-19. They will also use the data to help create future studies to understand why some people do not fully recover. Objective: To learn more about the range and timing of symptoms that people have before, during, and after COVID-19 infection. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older who can give documentation of a positive COVID-19 or antibody test. Design: Participants will be screened with a telephone interview. It will take 15 minutes. They will provide their COVID-19 test results and medical records. Participants will complete a second telephone interview. It will take 30 60 minutes. They will also take online surveys every 3 months for 3 years. The interview and surveys will ask participants about their health before they got COVID-19, what happened while they had COVID-19, and what their recovery has been like. Participants will get log-in data to take the online surveys. Completing all of the surveys the first time may take up to 3 hours. Follow-up surveys will take up to 30 minutes. Participants do not have to complete the surveys in one sitting. They will be able to save their progress and finish the surveys later. Participants may be contacted to take part in other research studies.

Dime La VerDAD is an innovative social media capacity-building program that empowers promotores de salud to debunk vaccine misinformation through the use of personal narratives on social media. The core of the implementation strategy consists of augmenting training and self-efficacy for natural community champions, "promotores de salud" from the Hispanic community as trusted messengers to debunk vaccination misinformation. The study will leverage existing community relationships in Chicago and a first of its kind misinformation curriculum to debunk misinformation in communities served by participating promotores de salud. Dime La VerDAD (Verify, Debunk, and Disseminate) is an innovative social media capacity-building program based on theoretical frameworks related to health communication that empowers promotores de salud to debunk vaccine misinformation through the use of personal narratives on social media. This mixed methods study will use a rigorous stepped wedge design to 1) deliver a scalable program of science communicators using an adapted curriculum grounded in infodemiology, 2) evaluate how debunking misinformation is perceived on social media, and 3) discern how use of personal narratives to enhance science communication can lead to changes in opinions and behavior (vaccination rates) about COVID and influenza vaccines among Chicago's predominantly Hispanic communities.

The long-term objective of SCALE-UP II is to increase the reach, uptake, and sustainability of COVID-19 testing among underserved populations. Through RADx-UP Phase I funding (SCALE-UP Utah), the team has established population health management (PHM) interventions that have been used since Feb 2021 to increase the uptake of COVID-19 testing and vaccination among community health center patients. Interventions are based on a PHM approach that uses widely available technology (i.e. cell phones and text messaging). SCALE-UP II will both build on SCALE-UP Utah PHM interventions and investigate novel resource conservation approaches (i.e., Request-Patient Navigation vs. No Patient Navigation and text messaging vs. conversational agent). SCALE-UP II builds on long standing partnerships among the University of Utah Clinical and Translational Science Institute (UofU CTSI), Association for Utah Community Health (AUCH), CHCs, and the Utah Department of Health(UDOH). CTSI and SCALE-UP II investigators are leading several COVID-19 initiatives that drive public health response and state government policies in Utah.

The purpose of this study is to describe the long-term health effects of COVID-19 in a population of mostly Black and Latinx individuals and their households who were diagnosed with COVID-19 at Columbia University Irving Medical Center. In New York, the upper Manhattan and south Bronx communities neighboring Columbia University Irving Medical Center (CUIMC) have been two of the most impacted communities of the COVID-19 pandemic. These neighborhoods are predominantly non-Hispanic black or African American and Latinx. This study will invite people who tested positive for COVID-19 and/or were treated at Columbia University Irving Medical Center to: 1) take a survey to ask about current symptoms and any health problems and 2) ask permission to review COVID-related health history including COVID-19 testing results (from the medical record) since infection to learn about health effects after COVID-19 infection; 3) invite anyone in their household to take a survey; and 4) for up to 500 patients who were hospitalized for COVID, give the option of doing a nasal swab to test for SARS-CoV-2 virus and blood test to check for antibody up to 12 months after diagnosis, to compare how results are different 12 months after infection. The goal is to learn about how the severity of person's infection in 2020 influences long term health effects and how others in their household are impacted by COVID-19.

The goal of this project is to understand the household level transmission dynamics and factors that predict transmission of SARS-COV-2 between pediatric and adults in the household. The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has spread all around the world and testing has posed a challenge globally. Not much is known about who does and does not acquire SARS-CoV2. It is also unknown who will show symptoms or progress severe disease or death from COVID-19. Children tend to have milder symptoms or none at all. Therefore, few children have ever been tested, so it is unknown if they get the infection as much as anyone else. Health care providers are highly exposed, and they do not get tested unless they show severe symptoms. If groups like children and health workers are infected, they can unknowingly spread SARS-CoV-2, unless they practice behaviors like self-isolation very strictly. The investigators aim to measure the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 in children and health care workers at a large urban health center. The investigators will also measure how many people in the household of the positive children and health care workers also get SARS-CoV-2 infection. Lastly, the investigators will see what other risk factors affect who acquires SARSCoV-2 from inside or outside of the household clusters.

The novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) infection (COVID-19) has caused a worldwide pandemic. There is still much that is unknown regarding the virus, especially its effects on pregnancy, the fetus, and the neonate. This study seeks to evaluate adverse pregnancy and neonatal outcomes related to COVID-19 infection. The FDA has authorized emergency use authorization for the SARS-CoV-2 messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna. Pregnant women were excluded from the Phase III clinical trials of the mRNA vaccines. There are no studies that have evaluated functional antibody responses, antibody reactivity to variant viruses, T cell frequencies or activity, or protection against infection or development of COVID-19. Having a more detailed understanding of how pregnancy and lactation alters the longevity, specificity, and activity of antiviral antibody and T cell-mediated immune responses to COVID-19 mRNA vaccines is essential for the FDA to inform future recommendations and regulation of these vaccines.
