The Southwest Interdisciplinary Research Center worked with their community partner, Lutheran Social Services (LSS) of the Southwest, to develop new COVID-19 public health education materials for asylum seekers in Arizona. Working closely with representatives from LSS, they learned that, in addition to the Spanish and English materials, they also needed to produce materials in Portuguese, French, and Georgian to best represent and reach the people they serve. They developed four poster designs in all five languages for use in shelters, plus graphics for social media or print. You will find folders with all of the digital files for each language, including the posters.

These resources promote the availability of vaccines and tests to the Marshallese, Spanish, and English speaking communities that are engaged in the RADx-UP study at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. These resources also highlight the community partners who the project works with as a resource for testing access. These can be adapted for use by other COVID research projects RADx-UP and beyond.

A RADx-UP project based at UC San Diego called Safer at School Early Alert (SASEA) partnered with their Health Communications Team to develop a comic book/coloring book as a kid-friendly way for children and parents to learn about what SASEA did at their schools over the past two years. The comic book shares scientific information in a user-friendly format and comes in two versions: version 1 covers wastewater monitoring and version 2 covers wastewater monitoring and surface sampling done by the project team.
The comic books were delivered to schools in early June in addition to SASEA swag bags for school staff. The books are also available in Spanish.
