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.

Toolkit
This guide is designed to help district leaders understand and respond to the specific teacher staffing gaps they’re facing, focusing on time-tested strategies that will make an immediate impact: ideas for covering absences, filling existing vacancies, and addressing chronic shortages exacerbated by the pandemic in key subject areas and in schools serving historically marginalized communities. It also offers advice on how districts can plan—in partnership with stakeholders inside and outside education—for longer-term changes to teacher pipelines, the employee value proposition for teachers, and the teacher role itself that will bring many more talented professionals into the classroom to support students in the critical years ahead.
Promising Practices that show evidence of effectiveness in improving public health outcomes in a specific real-life setting, as indicated by achievement of aims consistent with the objectives of the activities, and are suitable for adaptation by other communities.
