Clinical characterization of acute Covid-19 and Post-Covid-19 Conditions 3 months following infection: A cohort study among Indigenous adults and children in the Southwestern United States
Long-term effects of COVID-19 on multiple organ systems have been reported. Indigenous persons experienced disproportionate morbidity and mortality from COVID-19; however, Post-COVID-19 Conditions (PCC) have not been well described in this population. We conducted a longitudinal cohort study among Indigenous persons living in the Navajo Nation or White Mountain Apache Tribal lands in the Southwest United States who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 …
Incidence Rates of Covid-19-Associated Hospitalization and Risk Factors for Severe Disease Among American Indian and Alaska Native Persons in the Southwest USA and Alaska
Protecting Native Families from Covid-19: Implementation and Lessons Learned from a Community-Based Approach to Collecting Evidence to Support Uptake of Health Behaviors During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted longstanding health inequities, particularly among American Indian/Alaska Native (AIAN) communities, which experienced disproportionately high morbidity and mortality. This manuscript documents the implementation, adaptation, and lessons learned from a randomized controlled trial (RCT) conducted during a rapidly evolving pandemic context. The RCT tested two public health interventions: (1) a motivational intervie…
Factors Influencing Behaviors to Reduce the Spread of Covid-19 Among Indigenous Families in the Southwest, United States
Indigenous communities in the United States (U.S.) have been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19, yet they have led efforts to combat the pandemic by providing local solutions that minimize viral transmission and promote vaccine uptake. Understanding facilitators and barriers to recommended behaviors can increase adherence and reduce COVID-19 transmission. We conducted a descriptive qualitative study using in-depth interviews with 19 Indigeno…
Measuring the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on Diné and White Mountain Apache school personnel, families, and students: Protocol for a prospective longitudinal cohort study
The results of this study will inform the development or implementation of preventative interventions that may help Diné and Apache youth and their families recover from the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and positively impact their health and wellness

Safety and Efficacy of the BNT162b2 mRNA Covid-19 Vaccine
BACKGROUND: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and the resulting coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) have afflicted tens of millions of people in a worldwide pandemic. Safe and effective vaccines are needed urgently. METHODS: In an ongoing multinational, placebo-controlled, observer-blinded, pivotal efficacy trial, we randomly assigned persons 16 years of age or older in a 1:1 ratio to receive two doses, 21 day…
Protecting children in low-income and middle-income countries from Covid-19
A saving grace of the COVID-19 pandemic in high-income and upper middle-income countries has been the relative sparing of children. As the disease spreads across low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), long-standing system vulnerabilities may tragically manifest, and we worry that children will be increasingly impacted, both directly and indirectly. Drawing on our shared child pneumonia experience globally, we highlight these potential im…
