To help policymakers and other stakeholders identify opportunities to improve health equity in their states, SHADAC has produced a set of data resources for the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Using the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) Survey — combining the three most recent years of data (2018–2020) to improve our ability to develop reliable state-level estimates for smaller population subgroups — SHADAC created maps and charts showing how states compare to the U.S. average in measures of people’s self-reported physical and mental health, and how people’s physical and mental health varies depending on their race and ethnicity, level of income, and age within each state.

Summary Report/Recommendations
Among groups living in vulnerable conditions, the pandemic substantially magnified the inequality gaps, with possible negative implications for these individuals’ long-term physical, socioeconomic, and mental wellbeing. The recommendations presented in this Viewpoint article have been prioritised and agreed upon by the Lancet Commission on COVID-19’s Task Force on Social Protection, Humanitarian Action, and Vulnerable Group experts. This Viewpoint lists recommendations to protect vulnerable populations and reduce health inequities: (1) execute universal health coverage and social protection systems in every country, (2) at the country-level, ensure that governments and parliaments commit to financing and safeguarding health and social services to support universalism and equity, (3) provide digital equity for all, (4) boost care economy and take immediate steps to transform the current model, (5) re-energise relationships between government and civil society actors, and ensure communities, marginalized populations, and gender identities have a central role in decision making.
