CO-CREATE-Ex: Community-engaged Optimization of COVID-19 Rapid Evaluation And TEsting Experiences

Principal Investigator(s): Nicole Stadnick, Ph.D., MPH UC San Diego, Louise Laurent, Ph.D. UC San Diego, Borsika Rabin, Ph.D. UC San Diego

Other Collaborator(s): Global Action Research Center, San Ysidro Health

In our Phase I RADx-UP project, UC San Diego partnered with San Ysidro Health, a federally qualified health center, and the Global Action Research Center, a social change organization, to co-create and demonstrate the impact of a PCR-based COVID-19 testing program in San Ysidro, one of the most impacted areas from COVID-19 in San Diego County. To date, we have tested >10,000 community members (92% Latino) and received requests to scale-out the testing program to additional primary care clinic sites. In this Phase III proposal, we will extend work with our Phase I community and clinical partners to refine, specify, implement, and evaluate an implementation strategy bundle that optimizes COVID-19 testing, expanding beyond current PCR testing to FDA-authorized COVID-19 rapid antigen testing.

Developing and Testing a Team Communication Training Implementation Strategy for Depression Screening in a Pediatric Health Care System

Principal Investigator(s): Nicole Stadnick, Ph.D. UC San Diego

Co-Investigator(s): Gregory Aarons, Ph.D. UC San Diego, Jonathan Helm, Ph.D. San Diego State University

The objective is to refine and test a team communication training implementation strategy to improve implementation of an existing pediatric depression screening protocol in a large pediatric healthcare system. The implementation strategy will target team mechanisms at the organizational-level (intra-organizational alignment and implementation climate) and provider-level (communication, coordination, psychological safety, and shared cognition).
