This study expands the work of RADx 1.0. RADx 2.0 consists of: 1) Engaging New York City (NYC) public housing residents and project stakeholders in a series of virtual focus groups to explore and identify acceptable COVID-19 testing options; and 2) A cluster randomized controlled trial that uses teams of CHWs, youth resident navigators (RNs), and CBO staff to provide COVID-19 rapid antigen at-home test kits to residents of an expanded list of NYC housing developments in the same neighborhoods as RADx 1.0. Developments are randomized to Arm 1 (CHW-RN-CBO staff teams deliver at-home test kits with brief informational materials on optimal times to test and vaccination information) and Arm 2 (Arm 1 plus entry into a lottery for $150 to see whether the lottery extends reach).
