Summary
This study tested whether weekly community-led group discussions could improve trust and openness to COVID-19 testing and vaccination. Fifty-seven adults from nine housing agencies took part in online meetings and completed surveys over six months. The goal was to see if peer-led conversations can address mistrust in health recommendations.
