This community-engaged project aims to improve the accessibility of rapid tests through a supported employment program for people who inject drugs (PWID). The overall goal is to develop a transformative community-driven intervention in partnership with a community partner to promote widespread access to rapid testing among PWID.
The program is called Peer Connect2Test (PeerC2T). PWID will be recruited by a community partner who provides syringe exchange services. The community partner will train PWID to become peer health workers (PHW) to distribute SARS-CoV-2 rapid tests to other PWID. Investigators expect that PeerC2T will improve knowledge, self-efficacy, and health behaviors among PHWs.

| Supported Employment | Behavioral | PeerC2T is part of a supported employment program where PWID are trained and supported to provide PWID with job skills to be able to act as Peer Health Workers to facilitate the distribution of rapid SARS-CoV-2 testing to other PWID. The effect of the training on the Peer Health Worker themself will be evaluated. |

| Participant Peer Well-Being (Flourishing Scale) | Participant well-being was computed as the mean of eight items with a 7-point response option (1 = strongly disagree, 7 = strongly agree). The internal consistency, as measured with Cronbach's alpha (α), was .90, scores could range from 1 to 7, and higher scores indicated greater levels of well-being. | Assessed at baseline and 3-month follow-up |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| Health Communication Self-Efficacy | Health communication self-efficacy was computed as the mean score of 14 items with a 5-point response option (1 = strongly disagree, 5 = strongly agree). The internal consistency, as measured with Cronbach's alpha (α), was .97; scores could range from 1 to 5, and higher scores indicated greater self-efficacy. | Assessed at baseline and 3-month follow-up |

| Peer Support Self-Efficacy | Peer support self-efficacy, an Aim 1 measure, was computed as the mean score of 18 items with a 5-point response option (1 = not at all confident, 5 = very confident). The internal consistency, as measured with Cronbach's alpha (α), was .96; scores could range from 1 to 5, and higher scores indicated greater self-efficacy. | Assessed at baseline and 3-month follow-up |
| COVID-19 Knowledge | COVID-19 knowledge was computed as the number of correctly endorsed items. Five items were presented to test knowledge of COVID-19. Scores could range from 0 to 5, and higher scores indicate greater levels of COVID-19 knowledge. | Assessed at baseline and 3-month follow-up |
