What is being tested?
The study compares two groups: one receives standard care while the other gets the Tough Talks COVID (TT-C) intervention. The goal is to see if TT-C increases COVID-19 vaccine uptake among participants more effectively than usual methods.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on increasing vaccine uptake through an educational intervention rather than testing a medical product directly, it does not involve typical drug side effects. However, there may be indirect effects related to changes in knowledge or attitudes.
