ABSTRACT
"Community Conversations About COVID-19" was a multi-group program designed to address the need for culturally sensitive health information about COVID-19 for Latinx and Native American communities. Three medical librarians worked closely with Latinx and/or Spanish-speaking promotores, also known as community health workers (CHWs), and native patient navigators (NPNs) from Native American communities in Tucson, Arizona. In addition, the librarians collaborated with second-year medical students from the University of Arizona College of Medicine - Phoenix. The focus was to train the CHWs, NPNs, and students on how to access health information resources from the National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and other reliable agencies. The second segment of the program provided the opportunity for the groups to learn from each other's experiences working with health information through this pandemic, which is especially important given the fact the CHWs and NPNs live in, care for, and were brought up in these communities.
