iHealth Self-Testing Booklet

A stack of blue self-test instructional booklets lies next to an open booklet.

An iHealth self-test kit lies open behind the user, who has opened an instructional booklet. The left page reads a list of symptoms, while the right page asks two questions about contact with someone diagnosed with COVID.

iHealth self-test booklet is open to step one: Get Ready.

The dark blue booklet stands alone, its front cover visible.

Aim: This project set out to conduct rapid-cycle research that moves from audience analysis to message testing among priority populations in order to develop effective health communication strategies that are urgently needed to help counter challenges and reduce the disparities of COVID-19’s impact.

Outcome: The Design Studio supported Project 8 through the creation of an instructional booklet explaining how to use and interpret iHealth COVID-19 self-tests, distributed in partnership with the city of St. Louis and 2-1-1. This effort has led to over 350 participants receiving self-test kits.
