What is being tested?
SCALE-UP Utah II aims to improve COVID-19 testing among underserved groups using technology like cell phones. It compares patient navigation services and text messaging with conversational agents to see which is more effective.See study design

4Treatment groups
Active Control
Group I: Conversational Agent (CA)+ No Patient NavigationActive Control1 Intervention
Automated, scripted and interactive conversational agent used to mimic human interaction to: 1) elicit specific hesitancy factors and barriers to testing; 2) provide tailored information to address each individual's hesitancy factors and barriers to testing; and 3) offer access to at-home rapid test kits. Patients will not receive patient navigation.
Group II: Conversational Agent (CA) + Request PN (RPN)Active Control2 Interventions
Automated, scripted and interactive conversational agent used to mimic human interaction to: 1) elicit specific hesitancy factors and barriers to testing; 2) provide tailored information to address each individual's hesitancy factors and barriers to testing; and 3) offer access to at-home rapid test kits. RPN will provide patients the opportunity to reply PERSON (for connection to a PN) in response to a CA offering connection to testing and/or vaccination.
Group III: Text Messaging (TM) + No Patient NavigationActive Control1 Intervention
Bidirectional text messaging with a one-touch response to connect patients to vaccination or mailed at-home rapid test kits for use as needed. Patients will not receive patient navigation.
Group IV: Text Message (TM) + Request (RPN)Active Control2 Interventions
Bidirectional text messaging with a one-touch response to connect patients to vaccination or mailed at-home rapid test kits for use as needed. RPN will provide patients the opportunity to reply PERSON (for connection to a PN) in response to a TM offering connection to testing and/or vaccination.
