Peer Review Study, Systematic Review/Meta-Analysis
This literature review outlines support for mobile health clinics as a successful and cost-effective method of healthcare delivery, especially towards underserved populations. Although financial and logistical challenges exist when implementing mobile health clinics, they ultimately help eliminate common barriers to health access. “Serving as a stepping-stone between the clinic and the community, MHCs are able to address both medical and social determinants of health, and have the potential to play an important role in our evolving healthcare system.”

Systematic Review/Meta-Analysis
This review offers to provide context for the indirect health effects of the COVID-19 pandemic thus far, including its impact on health service delivery and utilization. Results found an overall decrease in utilization of health services for non-COVID-19 related care, which could lead to an increase in chronic diseases in the future as patients are not receiving timely checkups.

Systematic Review/Meta-Analysis
This systematic review examines COVID-19 literature on infections, hospitalizations, or deaths by race and ethnicity in the United States. Results found that Black and Hispanic populations experience higher rates of COVID-19 infection and COVID-19 related mortality, but similar rates of case fatality.

Data Collection Tool
This dashboard provides an initial look into how to quantify the level of vulnerability within an area (as defined by ZIP code, ZCTA). Interacting with the data at this level allows local decision makers to understand the vulnerability of their populations, as well as the vulnerability of neighboring regions.

Systematic Review/Meta-Analysis
There are widespread concerns that ethnic minorities and migrants may have inadequate access to COVID-19 vaccines. Improving vaccine uptake among these vulnerable groups is important towards controlling the spread of COVID-19 and reducing unnecessary mortality. The data from this systematic review shows that low confidence in COVID-19 vaccines among Black ethnic minorities driven by mistrust and safety concerns led to high vaccine hesitancy in this group. For migrants, convenience factors such as language barriers, fear of deportation, and reduced physical access to COVID-19 vaccines. Building trust, reducing physical barriers and improving communication transparency about vaccine development through healthcare workers, and religious and community leaders can improve access and facilitate uptake of the COVID-19 vaccines among ethnic minority and migrant communities.

Systematic Review/Meta-Analysis
This article discusses some of the similarities between the COVID-19 pandemic and other disasters to inform the development of mental health interventions in crisis settings. Drawing from interventions to provide mental health care during disasters, the authors outline evidence-based practices for multiple crisis settings, including peer-support interventions, skills-building interventions, and online interventions. The goal of these approaches is to increase access to mental health-focused interventions in times of stress and in times where mental health services may be difficult to access, with the goal of preventing or alleviating distress.

Systematic Review/Meta-Analysis
This review summarizes the factors contributing to COVID-19 inequities among immigrant communities. The review concludes with the overarching recommendation of engaging and empowering immigrant communities. Facilitating factors to address health inequities in this population include providing linguistically appropriate services, addressing poverty, and ensuring undocumented immigrants have access to public benefits.
