Peer Review Study
The objectives of the study were to describe patterns of COVID-19 testing among LGBTQ+ people and to differentiate rates of COVID-19 testing and test results by sociodemographic characteristics. Participants completed an internet-based survey from May through July 2020 that assessed COVID-19 testing and test results and sociodemographic characteristics. Data were analyzed on receipt and results of PCR and antibody testing for COVID-19 in relation to sociodemographic characteristics.

Peer Review Study
The study examines the gap in accessibility to digital fitness resources, and re-frames the notion of accessibility to suit the contemporary context. The authors suggest the construction of a comprehensive, indexed digital library of home-based physical activity video content, tailored to various disabilities and skill levels, and committed to contemporary notions of accessibility. Current resources are hard to find and not always free.

Peer Review Study
The study explores where and how Black women are obtaining information that pertains to COVID-19, along with the impacts that COVID-19 may be having on their daily lives.
