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.

Data Collection Tool
The Mapping Medicare Disparities (MMD) Population View provides a user-friendly way to explore and better understand disparities in chronic diseases, and allows users to: (1) visualize health outcome measures at a national, state, or county level; (2) explore health outcome measures by age, sex, race and ethnicity; (3) compare differences between two geographic locations (e.g., benchmark against the national average); and (4) compare differences between two racial and ethnic groups within the same geographic area.

Peer Review Study
The authors assess racial and ethnic disparities in four experience-of-care metrics among Medicaid managed care enrollees and estimate the extent to which overall disparities may be attributed to within-plan disparities versus between-plan disparities.

Peer Review Study
The article focuses on two key examples of structural racism in the health context for Asian Americans: poor-quality data infrastructure and biases on the part of researchers, healthcare providers, and the public health community, fueled by pervasive stereotypes about the Asian American community (that is, model minority, perpetual foreigner, and healthy immigrant). The authors provide recommendations on how to implement systems-level change and educational reform to infuse racial equity in future policy and practice for Asian American communities.

Summary Report/Recommendations
This report uses preliminary data on COVID-19 mortality rates among Asian Minnesotans. It draws attention to the disproportionate COVID-19 mortality rates among Hmong, Karen, and Karenni residents to demonstrate the critical importance of data disaggregation.

Peer Review Study
This study details a national, state-level analysis of COVID-19 infection and mortality disparities between ethnic and racial subgroups using data from the COVID Tracking Project. Results found significantly higher rates of COVID-19 infections among Hispanic and African American populations. A choropleth map of disparities in the United States was produced as part of the study.

Summary Report/Recommendations
This report highlights how disaggregating Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, and Asian race data can aid in identifying racial disparities among specific subpopulations, and highlights the importance of partnering with communities to develop culturally responsive outreach teams, and tailored public health interventions, and vaccination campaigns to more effectively address health disparities.

Commentary
This article provides an overview of the link between racism and COVID-19 disparities, missing race and ethnicity data, and literature on demographic data gaps. The authors also provide recommendations on how health departments and healthcare systems can engage communities of color to co-develop race and ethnicity data collection processes.
