Community popular opinion leader (POL)
After successful completion of the new COVID-19 training module, POLs will reach out to members of their social networks to model and diffuse social norms to reduce the risk of COVID-19 infection and transmission, screen for symptoms and counsel regarding COVID-19, SAVAME syndemic factors, and refer at-risk or affected individuals to appropriate community services (e.g. free COVID-19 testing and treatment, mental health services, substance use services, violence prevention, support groups, etc.). As in other POL based interventions and pragmatic trials, POLs be asked to follow up with their community contacts to monitor their situation and provide additional support, but there will be flexibility with the frequency and number of follow up contacts depending on their needs identified and the preferences of the community contact. POLs will be continually supported by the research team via face-to-face biweekly booster sessions (if COVID-19 situation requires it) or by zoom.
