Peer Review Study
This study assessed vaccine hesitancy in the United States by looking at Census Bureau’s Household Pulse Survey data. The study looked at race and ethnicity for individuals who have received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose by June 2021, but also looked at other socioeconomic factors such as access to healthy food, insurance status, and state-level political differences. The results found that while initial race/ethnicity analyses shows Black adults are more likely to not get vaccinated for COVID-19 than White adults, once other social factors were included, these differences were no longer significant. Additionally, insurance status and food insufficiency were not seen as significantly associated with vaccination hesitancy, but political differences does create an impact in overall state vaccination rates.

Peer Review Study
This study details an analysis of data from the University of Maryland family medicine and immediate care (UFM) practices to examine an association between COVID-19 infections and demographic and socioeconomic factors. Results found that Black and Hispanic patients were more likely test positive for COVID-19, and those living in areas with a high Area Deprivation Index score experienced higher risks of infections.

Peer Review Study
This article examines a cohort study of children in England to determine a possible association between COVID-19 testing rates, COVID-19 mortality rates, and race. Results found that Asian and Black children experienced race-specific disparities when compared to white children, with white children receiving more COVID-19 testing, but Black and Asian children experiencing worse outcomes, including hospitalization, ICU admission, and death.

Peer Review Study
This study looks at the association between county-level income inequality and COVID-19 cases and deaths from March 2020 to February 2021. This cohort study used county-level longitudinal data for all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and D.C. Results showed that income equality was associated with higher rates of COVID-19 cases and mortality. Targeting communities with higher rates of income inequality must be considered to lessen the burden of inequality.

Peer Review Study
This study reviews access to COVID-19 vaccination sites in Brooklyn, New York City, to understand vaccination disparities. Using publicly available data, the study analyzes population demographic characteristics, vaccination site location, and distance to vaccination site to see if minority populations are experiencing less access to COVID-19 vaccinations. The results show that the current vaccination sites focus on White, middle-to-upper class communities and the borough has significant vaccination access deserts.

Peer Review Study
This study conducted an analysis of COVID-19 hospitalizations in 12 states — Arizona, Indiana, Kansas, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, Utah, Virginia, and Washington — to look at correlations between COVID-19 hospitalizations and race/ethnicity. These 12 states were chosen because they report race and ethnicity in hospitalization data. Results show a variation of racial disparities by state, which highlights the need for increased data reporting and consistency across all states.

Systematic Review/Meta-Analysis
This review offers to provide context for the indirect health effects of the COVID-19 pandemic thus far, including its impact on health service delivery and utilization. Results found an overall decrease in utilization of health services for non-COVID-19 related care, which could lead to an increase in chronic diseases in the future as patients are not receiving timely checkups.

Peer Review Study
This study assesses COVID-19 data at the neighborhood aggregation level for seven states – Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia – to determine if there is a correlation between COVID-19 prevalence and neighborhood characteristics. The study developed an Area Deprivation Index (ADI), a composite measure to rank neighborhoods by socioeconomic characteristics, using the 2018 US Census survey. The results found that in certain states, such as Illinois and Maryland, zip codes with higher ADI scores experienced more prevalence of COVID-19 cases. The only states where this pattern was not consistent were Florida and Virginia.

Peer Review Study
This study looks at data from a digital survey conducted for Arkansas residents to see if race, ethnicity, and other socioeconomic factors impacts a person’s preference for COVID-19 testing. Results found that individuals preferred drive through COVID-19 testing as their primary testing location. The authors posit that location and administration of COVID-19 testing should consider race and ethnicity to assist in eliminating disparities for these vulnerable groups.
