PEACH2 is a study that aims to help people with diabetes in Georgia get tested for COVID-19. The study lasts for 12 months and has an intervention phase of 16 weeks. Participants will be divided into two groups: the Intervention Arm and the Control Arm. During the intervention, some participants will receive text message reminders, called behavioral nudges. These messages are designed to encourage COVID-19 testing and provide diabetes management tips.
The study explores whether home testing for COVID-19 is practical and helpful, especially for people with diabetes who might face challenges in accessing testing. Participants will answer surveys at the start, after the intervention, and at the end of the study to share their experiences and views on COVID-19 testing and prevention.
Key Points:- The study lasts for 12 months with a 16-week intervention period.
- Participants must live in Georgia, have a cellphone, and be at risk for diabetes.
- Weekly text message nudges will be sent to some participants to support COVID-19 testing and diabetes care.
