The Building Resilience and Vital Equity (BRAVE) project seeks to partner with American Indian tribal communities in North Carolina to establish COVID-19 services and resources for American Indian communities. The goal of this study is to 1) understand the barriers and social implications of COVID19 testing and vaccination among American Indians by designing and implementing culturally sensitive survey tools and intervention materials; 2) Implement BRAVE outreach and testing interventions to increase testing in American Indian communities; 3) analyze data and share back with tribal communities to improve perceptions of COVID-19 testing in the AI community and decrease in vaccine hesitancy.
