Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:[18] Our study has several limitations. We conducted our interviews prior to the release of vaccine study data and the resultant EUA. [13] We were not able to assess whether these events changed views. Additionally, in the testing sample, we were only able to interview a small number of those who chose not to be tested, so we may have understated objections to testing among the target population. Lastly, we reported data from two different studies whose populations were distinct in terms of age, testing accessibility and housing situation. This could also be a strength, since the similarity of responses between the two samples increases generalizability. In a qualitative study of homeless-experienced individuals, we found that participants were interested in COVID-19 testing and vaccines and found CHOW-mediated mobile outreach to be effective and acceptable. Participants’ concerns about the vaccine mirrored those of the US general public. [19] However, homeless individuals face structural barriers stemming from a lack of housing coupled with a disproportionate burden of structural racism and discrimination based on social status and behavioral health characteristics. Our data suggest that providing mobile testing, incentives, and trusted members of communities (CHOWs) to provide information and answer questions can mitigate barriers to access and uptake of both COVID testing and vaccines.
