Peer Review Study, Systematic Review/Meta-Analysis
The authors conducted a systematic review to understand disparities in H1N1 vaccine uptake by race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, rural/urban residence, population density, and disability status, and factors associated with unequal uptake, as well as the benefits and harms of interventions designed to attenuate inequities in H1N1 vaccine uptake—in an effort to address potential disparities in COVID-19 vaccine access and uptake.

Peer Review Study
This study examined internet usage of older adults through the California Health Interview Survey to determine how social determinants of health and socioeconomic levels can impact access to health information. The results showed that minorities with lower levels of socioeconomic status were most impacted by a digital divide and access to health information via the internet.

Peer Review Study
This study assessed community factors associated with COVID-19 infection levels and testing rates at the US Census tract level in Seattle, King County, Washington. Through multivariate models, the study demonstrated disparities for communities of color within the county, for risk of exposure, transmission, and in testing rates. The results show a need for increased education, training, and disease control resources for communities with low socioeconomic status and vulnerable populations.

Summary Report/Recommendations
This article discusses the Medical Adaptations series and reveals several lessons. It offers recommendations on providing and utilizing information technology for online learning to mitigate some inequities borne by socioeconomic and generational differences, English as a second-language learners, and those with disabilities who do not have access to adaptive technology.

Summary Report/Recommendations
This article explores how the relationships between vaccine site density, vaccination rates, and social vulnerability are connected across metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas in the U.S. The study uses CDC Social Vulnerability Index data combined with vaccination site density data to examine how vaccination site placement can benefit highly vulnerable populations. The results determined that while areas with higher socioeconomic vulnerability contain a large density of vaccination sites, this does not affect the low vaccination rates found in these communities. Other methods besides vaccination site placement must be considered to overcome these barriers in vaccination rates.
