The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated long-standing inequities, galvanizing new investments and community feedback to improve recovery programs. This implementation evaluation offers descriptive evidence of the feasibility of engaging street vendors to (1) facilitate linkage to services for undocumented Latinx communities, (2) strengthen health promotion by gathering community feedback, and (3) enhance economic opportunity by recognizing and addressing systemic challenges in which vendors operate. Future work should assess the effectiveness of mobilizing existing community messengers around entrenched social determinants of health.

COVID-19 大流行加剧了长期存在的不平等现象，促使新的投资和社区反馈来改善复苏计划。这项实施评估提供了关于以下方面可行性的描述性证据：(1) 让街头小贩参与进来，为无证拉丁裔社区提供服务；(2) 通过收集社区反馈来加强健康促进；(3) 通过承认和解决小贩经营所面临的系统性挑战来增加经济机会。未来的工作应该评估围绕根深蒂固的健康决定因素动员现有社区传讯员的效果。（2024 年；114（S1）：S78-S81. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2023.307453）。
