Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics-Underserved Populations (RADx-UP) Kansas worked with 10 Kansas counties from November 2020 through June 2022 to form local health equity action teams (LHEATs), develop COVID-19 testing strategies, foster communication about COVID-19, and share best practices through a learning collaborative. Participating counties documented 693 distinct COVID-19 testing and 178 communication activities. Although the intervention was not associated with changes in the proportion of positive COVID-19 tests, LHEATs in the learning collaborative implemented new testing strategies and responded to emerging COVID-19 challenges.

快速诊断弱势群体项目（RADx-UP）堪萨斯州于 2020 年 11 月至 2022 年 6 月与堪萨斯州的 10 个县合作，组建了当地健康公平行动小组（LHEAT），制定了 COVID-19 检测策略，促进了 COVID-19 方面的沟通，并通过学习合作分享最佳实践。参与县记录了 693 项不同的 COVID-19 检测和 178 项沟通活动。尽管该干预措施与 COVID-19 检测阳性比例的变化无关，但学习合作中的 LHEAT 实施了新的检测策略，并应对了新出现的 COVID-19 挑战。（. 2024;114(11):1202-1206. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2024.307771）。
