## Abstract

Project Summary
Racial and ethnic minority and socioeconomically disadvantaged women (hereafter vulnerable women) are at
great risk of Covid-19 infection in their roles as family caregivers and low-wage, essential workers. Further,
they face an increased risk of poor health outcomes associated with infection given the disproportionate
burden of multiple chronic conditions (e.g., heart disease, depression, chronic pain) and limited access to
health care and supportive services. This supplement’s (NOT-AT-20-010) purpose is to strengthen the
resilience of vulnerable women living with multiple chronic conditions in the context of Covid-19. Resilience is
the process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy or significant sources of stress such as
living with multiple chronic conditions, limited financial resources, isolation from supportive people and health
services and relationship conflict. To strengthen resilience, our team will modify and integrate two well-
established, evidence based digital interventions. The myPlan web-based app platform is a free, confidential
and secure platform that is available nationally and has reached 50,000 users. Women use the app to assess
their health and safety priorities and design tailored health and safety plans that links via chat/phone directly to
community programs. We will leverage the myPlan platform to integrate content (videos with expert
instructions) from the evidence-based Common Elements Treatment Approach (CETA). CETA is an effective
transdiagnostic behavioral change approach that builds individual skills (e.g., cognitive reframing,
communication, behavioral activation, adherence to health program) to improve self-directed management of
multiple chronic conditions. We will modify and integrate CETA skills building videos with expert instructions
into the myPlan web-based platform (myPlan +CETA) using human centered design with end users and then
examine the feasibility and acceptability of the integrated digital intervention to reach and engage vulnerable
women living with multiple chronic conditions in this time of crisis. The feasibility and acceptability of the
intervention will be examined with adult vulnerable women using secure on-line surveys to examine changes in
proximal outcomes (e.g. adherence to health program, resilience, behavioral activation, safety behaviors) and
distal outcomes (e.g., physical and mental health functioning) over 6 months.
