Addressing Vaccine Hesitancy and Increasing COVID-19 Vaccine Uptake Among African American Young Adults in the South

The study staff will conduct a hybrid type 1 effectiveness implementation 2-arm trail with 360 Black young adults from Alabama, Georgia, and North Carolina. Participants will be randomized to receive the standard of care (control) or the TT-C intervention arm, each with a balance of 180 participants. Primary effectiveness outcome is COVID-19 vaccine uptake define as receipt of any vaccine (primary series or secondary booster). Secondary effectiveness outcomes are vaccine hesitancy, confidence, and knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs. The study staff will also conduct qualitative interviews with a group of purposively selected AA-YA participants (est. n=12-16) and site staff (est. n=6-8) to assess barriers and facilitators to implementation. The hypothesis is that the intervention arm will be more effective than the control arm at increasing vaccine uptake.
