The COVID-19 epidemic has negatively impacted the Black community in the United States. Despite current disease mitigation efforts, work is still needed to ensure that Black individuals living in the United States understand their risks regarding COVID-19 infection whether vaccinated or unvaccinated. Thus, the current article posits that the Black church, in concert with public health practitioners, is a venue through which theoretically based health messages should be designed and disseminated regarding COVID-19 recovery efforts. The Health Belief Model and the Harm Reduction approach are posed as theoretical frameworks to facilitate the design of such messages.
新冠疫情对美国的黑人社区造成了负面影响。尽管目前正在努力减轻疾病的影响,但仍需要努力确保生活在美国的黑人无论是否接种疫苗,都能了解他们感染新冠病毒的风险。因此,本文提出,黑人教堂与公共卫生从业者合作,是一个可以设计和传播有关新冠疫情恢复工作的基于理论的健康信息的场所。健康信念模型和减少伤害方法被提出作为理论框架,以促进此类信息的设计。
