Mitigation and Prevention

This study evaluated the effectiveness of a telephone-based intervention using a Regional Operational Call Center as a primary method of providing COVID-19 information to rural communities and connecting those at risk with medical appointments. Results indicated that interaction with the call center led to an increased likelihood of scheduling a healthcare appointment and receiving a COVID test.
