Abstract
COVID-19 self-test kits were distributed to low-income, homebound older adults with their home-delivered meals annually (2022-2024). A convenience sample of recipients completed follow-up surveys in 2022 (n = 271), 2023 (n = 295), and 2024 (n = 285). In 2023, 28% had ever used a COVID-19 self-test, which increased to 39% in 2024 and is comparable to a national study (27%). Through partnerships with trusted meal-delivery providers, homebound older adults can achieve rates of COVID-19 self-testing comparable to those of the broader population.
