The first Partnering for Impact analysis concept submissions are in
Last week, we received the first submission of a RADx-UP analysis concept – David Brown at Florida International University is interested in analyzing RADx-UP data to explore “the impact of polysocial risk, clinical risk, and individual risk factors on COVID immunization, testing, and symptoms.” Learn more about this and other analysis concepts (as they come in) on the View Vetted Concepts page of myRADx-UPhome.

Applying lessons from love in community partnerships
How is online dating a metaphor for building community partnerships?
Read this Q&A with Rosa Gonzalez-Guarda, faculty lead of the RADx-UP Engagement Resource Center (ERC) who talked to the CDCC about building community relationships. “I’ve never been able to establish a partnership without help from gatekeepers.”
The ERC brings together resources—project profiles, explainer videos, one-page handouts, study results—about community engagement, testing, and data to support projects and their partners.

COVID-19 screening testing Research Roundup
In this RADx-UP Research Roundup, we highlight two articles that report data and results on COVID-19 screening testing in schools. The articles reflect the effectiveness of screening testing to identify COVID-19 cases in schools, as well as barriers that prevented schools from employing a screening strategy and how these barriers can be overcome for future public health crises. The schools included in the studies serve underserved communities, including children with developmental disabilities, and racial and ethnic minorities.

RADx-UP Research Brief: Trusted Sources of COVID-19 Vaccine Information among Hesitant Adopters in the US
This research brief summarizes a RADx-UP study out of the University of Arkansas Medical Center in collaboration with the Northwest Arkansas Council. Some studies suggest trust in healthcare providers and medical scientists has declined, but this and other studies have found that they continue to be the greatest sources of trusted COVID-19 information, including among hesitant adopters. Identifying trusted sources of information can inform future public health messaging campaigns aimed at increasing vaccine adoption. View in English, Spanish, and Marshallese.

CDC tips for COVID-19 vaccine-hesitant parents
This article, published by the American Medical Association, highlights data about COVID-19 vaccination in children ages 5-11 during the Omicron surge. 90% of the 397 children hospitalized for COVID-19 were unvaccinated. Black children made up the largest proportion of those unvaccinated, showing the differences in vaccine access and education for marginalized groups.

An 830-million-year-old crystal may contain life
Scientists found an 830-million-year-old salt crystal, halite, that appears to have microorganisms preserved in the water inside it. The microorganisms could be alive inside the halite thanks to their ability to slow down biological activities and enter a sort of hibernation. Scientists are planning to break open the crystal and study the life inside. Results could teach us about the origins of life on Earth and potential for life on other planets!
