Detailed Description
Eligible participants were randomized to intervention or control group. Intervention group participants met virtually with other community member participants in small discussion groups once a week for 75 minutes over the course of 14 weeks. The online discussion groups were led by peer mentor facilitators and supported by a research team member. Discussion topics included current events and other health related topics. Control group participants did not meet in weekly discussion groups. At approximately the 0 weeks, 14 weeks, and 18 weeks time points, all participants answered online surveys about health related topics. At the 14 weeks and 18 weeks time points, all participants were asked to self-administer a COVID-19 test that investigators provide.
