Peer Review Study
This analysis identifies risk factors and socio-economic impacts of long COVID with a public health lens. It notes that more analysis is needed, but encourages the impacts of long COVID to be seen within a larger social, and not just medical, context. Workplace and family structure implications are substantial. Long COVID should be tracked as distinct condition using person-centered research techniques that include traditionally underrepresented populations such as children.

Peer Review Study
This is an assessment of the association between hospitalization for illness from COVID-19 infection and chronic conditions among Medicare beneficiaries (MBs) with fee-for-service (FFS) claims by race and ethnicity for January 1–September 30, 2020. Racial/ethnic disparities in hospitalization rates persist among MBs with COVID-19, and associations of COVID-19 hospitalization with chronic conditions differ among racial/ethnic groups in the U.S.

Peer Review Study
This article is part of a series that explores COVID-19 related experiences of assistive technology (AT) users across the world. This article focuses on a survey of AT users from six regions, and the results show that AT users in minority groups living with existing health disparities are unduly impacted by the functionality of AT tools. The article offers specific recommendations for future action to strengthen AT across public policy and civil society in pandemic preparedness and response.
