Peer Review Study
In this paper, the authors explore the relationships between structural racism and the Black-White disparity and Hispanic-White disparity in COVID-19 vaccination rates across 45 U.S. states. The authors use racially stratified vaccination data to conduct a detailed exploration of vaccination disparities within the United States for both the non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic populations compared to the non-Hispanic White population.

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
This study examined racial/ethnic disparities, exposure risks, testing rates, positive tests, and case rates for California residents from March to October 2020 to identify racial/ethnic groups with high-risk households. The study finds that Latinos are disproportionately affected, being approximately 8 times more likely to live in a high-risk household than other racial/ethnic groups

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
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.

Peer Review Study
The purpose of this study was to provide healthcare decision-makers in North Carolina with information about the available health workforce in order to conduct workforce surge planning and to anticipate concerns about professional or geographic workforce shortages. Descriptive and cartographic analyses were conducted using licensure data to assess the supply of respiratory therapists, nurses, and critical care physicians. Licensure data were merged with population data and numbers of intensive care unit beds. Higher concentrations of healthcare workers were observed in urban areas. Critical care physicians were primarily based in areas with academic health centers.
