Peer Review Study
This resource discusses the results of the 2020 COVID-19 Resiliency Survey, which was conducted in Chicago, Illinois to gauge the impact of COVID-19 on the city during their first wave of cases. Specific focus is given to the experiences of minority groups, both racial/ethnic and sexual/gender minorities. The results show that these marginalized groups – specifically Black, Latinx, sexual minority and gender minority groups – experience more disparities in COVID-19 exposure, susceptibility, treatment access, and psychosocial effects from the pandemic. The resource offers solutions to reducing these disparities.

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. The study confirms the need to create COVID-19 public health messaging and programming that attend to LGBTQ+ populations.
