Peer Leader Training
SESSION
Each session was approximately three hours. Session one focused on background information of COVID-19 and current misinformation. Session two introduced components of communication and various ways of communication online. Stigma and politicization of COVID-19 and how to address these polarizing topics were discussed. Suggested weekly topics were also introduced. We informed peer leaders that the groups were free-flowing and conversations would depend on how participants reacted and interacted with each other. Session 3 focused on the study design. Throughout training, peer leaders participated in group activities to practice using Facebook features and engaging others. After each session, peer leaders were given homework to help reinforce what they learned (eg, post a video about COVID-19 vaccine education).
