First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 20, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests two community-based interventions to improve virus prevention behaviors: a crowdsourced campaign package and rapid response teams for contact tracing. Researchers will enroll 546 adults in North Carolina to see if these approaches increase participation and are seen as acceptable. The goal is to find effective ways to reduce health disparities in both rural and urban communities.
