Archived Webinar: Engaging a Refugee Community to Address COVID-19 Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices
It is critical to engage those most affected by COVID‐19, including vulnerable populations such as refugee, immigrant and migrant (RIM) communities, in developing effective health education campaigns so their lived experiences can inform contextually and culturally specific messaging. We do not fully understand RIM population knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAPs) about COVID-19 testing and the vaccine in this diverse community nor do we understand how to effectively develop and disseminate messaging. There is no indication that the plethora of approaches and strategies including educational campaigns, contact‐based interventions, and peer services work with RIM populations. Our work aims to gain a nuanced understanding about COVID-19 KAPs, identify best practices for implementing contextually and culturally appropriate health messaging that explicitly addresses COVID‐19 KAPs, and define a process for disseminating contextually and culturally appropriate health messaging that explicitly addresses COVID‐19 KAPs.
