Peer Review Study
In this article and the accompanying StoryMap, the authors identified ZIP Code Tabulation Areas with the largest share of minoritized racial and ethnic populations and measured distances to the nearest hospital offering emergency services, trauma care, obstetrics, outpatient surgery, intensive care, and cardiac care. Examining how spatial access to health care varies across geography is key to documenting structural inequalities in the United States.

Peer Review Study
The authors present a guide to the data ecosystem used by health insurers to highlight where bias can arise along machine learning pipelines. The authors suggest mechanisms for identifying and dealing with bias, and discuss challenges and opportunities to increase fairness through analytics in the health insurance industry.

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 article analyzes county-level data for vaccination rates and social determinants of health factors for Tennessee between February and May 2021. The machine learning model was able to predict COVID-19 incidence, as well as detect rates of disparities for social determinants such as transportation and access to health care.

Summary Report/Recommendations
The article highlights the need for routine collection, in public health data, of disaggregated information on race, ethnicity, and immigration status, which is not currently available in most countries. Studies from the United States and the United Kingdom have revealed major health inequities among members of racial and ethnic minorities, but little is known about the impact of immigration status on COVID-19 outcomes. These data gaps are a major impediment to designing effective tailored interventions for these populations. Collection and dissemination of COVID-19 data by country of birth or self-reported race/ethnicity (for second- or several-generational minorities) will help determine the relative contribution of each of the driving factors for the observed health disparities.
