En un esfuerzo por promover la confianza y unas instrucciones claras para realizar las pruebas de COVID-19 caseras, RADx-UP se asoció con la Administración de Alimentos y Medicamentos (Food and Drug Administration, FDA) de EE. UU. y ACON Laboratories para desarrollar y publicar dos videos de demostración de cómo realizar la prueba.

The RADx-UP working group, Understanding Social Determinants of COVID-19 Testing and Vaccination set out to design the best possible at-home test demonstration video. They partnered with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and ACON Laboratories to create a clear and accurate tool informed by communities and could be translated easily into any language.
Policy Paper
The RADx-UP team has published a brief summarizing its community-engaged research practices from internal coordination and building trust and relationships with community partners, to creating communities of practice. The intent is to provide a guide for successful community-engaged interventions to reduce illness and raise rates of COVID-19 testing and vaccination within underserved communities.
Report
This content analysis report outlines key outcomes, impacts, and lessons learned from intervention implementation approaches in 231 RADx-UP peer-reviewed publications. Independent reviewers abstracted study characteristics, translational science benefits, key emergent themes, and lessons learned, which are then synthesized and categorized thematically.
One of the most important aspects of the RADx-UP initiative is that projects represent a partnership between health researchers and community leaders to address COVID-19 health inequities. RADx-UP provides an important example of what can be achieved using a “community-engaged research” approach.

The intent is to provide a guide for successful community-engaged interventions to reduce illness and raise rates of COVID-19 testing and vaccination within underserved communities.
The brief’s insights can inform the actions of policymakers, researchers, and community leaders around the nation – whether to help navigate future public health crises, or even to initiate near-term community health practices that address inequities.
The six-page, highly visual, and easy-to-read brief discusses how RADx-UP projects:
The brief also shares information about a wide range of RADx-UP publications, policy recommendations, advisory board and working group achievements, knowledge-sharing events, and resources created, all with a focus on community engagement and prioritizing researcher/community partnerships.
As the brief states, “By working with and within communities, RADx-UP projects from around the country were able to lessen barriers to education, testing and vaccination to promote health equity.”
This RADx-UP brief provides an important example of what can be achieved using a “community-engaged research” approach.

This poster highlights the Stanford Medicine Nephrology Divisions' screening for infections in dialysis facilities that could:
1. Facilitate early detection & treatment
2. Reduce transmission
3. Strengthen public health surveillance in a future pandemic
We evaluated the acceptability of routine SARS-CoV-2 screening among asymptomatic patients in dialysis facilities.

Used and developed by Colorado Community Engagement Alliance Against Health Disparities (CO-CEAL), iHeard Colorado is a community-facing informational website focused on addressing disinformation and misinformation related to COVID-19 and other public health-related topics. Each week, the team surveys a panel of local residents asking what they've heard, seen, or read about a range of health topics (updated regularly), including COVID-19, in the last seven days. If a respondent reports exposure to a topic, questions are asked about where they heard it from. Combining the metrics in an algorithm, the team assigns priority levels and a list of top priorities.
