Identifying Effective COVID-19 Communication and Outreach Strategies in RIM Communities
Siloam Health
I wrote a White paper for Siloam Health in accordance with a CDC foundation grant to reduce the burden of COVID morbidity and mortality in refugee, immigrant, and migrant (RIM) populations in Nashville. The purpose of this paper was to identify effective COVID-19 communication and outreach strategies in RIM communities. I planned and attended focus groups, conducted one-on-one interviews with Siloam community health workers, and analyzed REDCap data.

It was published to the journal of Human Vaccines and Immunotherapeutics. I interviewed providers and performed a qualitative analysis of the interviews to understand what they need to address parental HPV vaccine hesitancy.
