Abstract

This study examines the pivotal role of COVID-19 testing in mitigating disease spread, particularly in underserved rural communities facing health care access challenges. The Southern Nevada Health District successfully implemented a vending program in Clark County, offering free COVID-19 antigen test kits. Strategically located based on health equity indices and featuring a user-friendly, multilingual registration process, these machines proved effective in reaching rural populations. The cost-effective model suggests potential adoption for broader public health interventions and services in other regions. (Am J Public Health. 2024;114(S7):S558-S561. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2024.307718).

公平的 COVID-19 为得不到服务的社区提供测试机会:自动售货机的成功。
本研究探讨了 COVID-19 检测在减少疾病传播方面的关键作用,尤其是在医疗服务不足的农村社区。南内华达州卫生区在克拉克县成功实施了一项自动售货机计划,免费提供 COVID-19 抗原检测试剂盒。这些机器根据健康公平指数进行了战略选址,并采用了方便用户的多语种注册流程,在覆盖农村人口方面证明行之有效。这种具有成本效益的模式表明,其他地区有可能采用这种模式来提供更广泛的公共卫生干预和服务。(Am J Public Health.https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2024.307718 )。
