Summary Report/Recommendations
To begin bridging the gap in knowledge about COVID-19 risk among sexual minority adults, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention examined disparities between sexual minority and heterosexual adults in the prevalence of underlying conditions with strong or mixed evidence of associations with severe COVID-19-related illness, by using data from the 2017–2019 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). Collecting data on sexual orientation in COVID-19 surveillance and other studies would improve knowledge about disparities in infection and adverse outcomes by sexual orientation, thereby informing more equitable responses to the pandemic.

Toolkit
The Community Information Exchange (CIE) Data Equity Framework’s goal is to build data systems to help institutions, and the communities they serve, approach CIE® planning and systems change work from a place of anti-racism by: (1) naming how data system design reflects understanding of and participation by the intended beneficiaries of current programs and interventions; (2) acknowledging and documenting the effects of a spectrum of data system design types on oppressed populations and communities; (3) identifying strategies needed to eliminate the harm of current processes and practices; (4) highlighting the behavior change needed to rebuild or change the overall data system to better meet community needs across racial and ethnic populations; and (5) adopting practices that promote restorative justice and mitigate harm and exploitation.

White Paper/Brief
This article details the adaptation of the 2020 Community Health Survey by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in order to capture the impact of COVID-19 on physical health, mental health, and social determinants of health. It explains how the survey questions were adapted, how collection of survey data was adapted, and how a serosurvey was implemented. Two new polls were added, Healthy NYC and 7 Health Opinion Poll, to learn about COVID-19 related opinions, attitudes, and knowledge.

Peer Review Study
This article outlines a framework for data collection among communities of color based on a project by local organizations in Canada. The authors also discuss their encounter with data gaps and provide recommendations and strategies for policymakers and community/health stakeholders on how to improve, use, and analyze disaggregated data. As part of the Strengthening Disaggregated Sociodemographic Data Related to COVID-19 project with the Ottawa Local Immigration Partnership (OLIP) and the University of Ottawa, a framework for guiding equitable data collection and use was created.
