ENGAGE Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: COVID-19 Education GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants randomized to the intervention will be engaged over a three-week period in discussions by their health ministries; any identified concerns or barriers around the initial vaccination series and/or booster vaccinations will be addressed and the importance of continued COVID-19 testing will be emphasized. Evidence-based vaccine strategies that focus on positive framing will be employed
Group II: Delayed Control GroupActive Control1 Intervention
Participants in the delayed intervention control group will not receive any outreach during the three-week control period. Subsequent to completing the follow-up questionnaire, they will then be invited to join the intervention for the next three weeks. A follow-up questionnaire will be administered following their intervention period to be used in later analyses.
