What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The study tests whether a storytelling program for community health workers can spread trustworthy health messages on social media and help people make better decisions about vaccines for respiratory viruses.
- Who it's for
- It looks for community health workers who work in areas with high rates of flu and COVID‑19.
- What's involved
- Participants will learn a curriculum on health communication, create personal stories, and post them on social media. The study will track how these messages spread and how people respond.
- Time commitment
- The program runs in a stepped‑wedge design, meaning all sites start later and gradually receive the training. Participants will attend training sessions and post stories over several weeks, with follow‑up assessments of message reach and vaccine attitudes.
