Rapid Assessment of Covid Evidence (Race)
Much has been written in the Rapid Assessment of COVID Evidence (RACE) series about the COVID-19 pandemic’s collateral consequences and disproportionate impact on Black and brown people, the working class, and the poor. With this final issue of the series, we review our efforts and the reasons for embarking on this work, lessons learned, and future directions. With over 10,500,000 children1 having lost primary caretakers during the pandemic and w…
They Don’t Care If We Live or Die”
Historically, the US immigration system (ie, institutions, agencies, and laws) has served the goals and principles of white supremacy through its treatment of globally displaced people and this appears to have continued through the COVID pandemic. Yet, the implications for immigrant health are not routinely addressed in mainstream public health discourse, and especially so in regard to public health disasters. This study conducted a series of foc…
An Equity-Based Scoring System for Evaluating Surveillance-Related Harm in Public Health Crises
The potential for surveillance systems to compromise the health and well-being of racialized and/or vulnerable populations has been understudied. This project developed and piloted a scoring system to accomplish this equity-based imperative. The nobler pursuits of public health to improve the health for all must be reconciled with these potential harms

A Qualitative Analysis on Sexual and Reproductive Health Needs and Issues During Covid-19 Using a Reproductive Justice Framework
The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated existing health inequities, further exposing the challenges in meeting the sexual and reproductive health (SRH) needs, particularly for Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC). We interviewed 11 key informants through three focus groups to explore barriers and pathways to SRH care for BIPOC during COVID-19 in the United States. Reimagining reproductive health practices requires holistic practices and multis…
Using Covid-19 Surveillance Systems to Identify and Monitor Disparities
Inadequate attention to racial health equity is a common challenge to effective, reliable monitoring and mitigation of COVID-19 disparities. Efforts to monitor and mitigate COVID-19 disparities continue to be hampered by inadequacies in how surveillance systems collect, tabulate, and report COVID-19-related outcomes. We conducted environmental scans of existing public health surveillance systems and reporting standards, literature reviews, focus …
Barely Tweeting and Rarely About Racism
Concerns about racism and inequities in COVID-19 vaccination continue on Twitter, but SHDs rarely tweet about them. This strikes a worrisome chord of disconnection from the science linking health inequities to racism
Integrated Methods for Applying Critical Race Theory to Qualitative Covid-19 Equity Research
These novel approaches provide an effective model for community-engaged qualitative research during a pandemic
Trauma, Family Factors and the Mental Health of Homeless Adolescents
Understanding interactions of formerly incarcerated HIV-positive men and transgender women with substance use treatment, medical, and criminal justice systems
Families and the Juvenile Justice System
We conducted focus groups with defense lawyers, clinicians, and education advocates to gather their perspectives on families' experiences with the juvenile justice system. Our quantitative descriptive analysis identified a range of themes such as discussions about the poor treatment of families as well as recommendations for a shifting of power to families. These perspectives may provide insights about the context in which families are expected t…
The Human Genome Diversity Project
The patenting of human genetic materials provokes wide‐ranging misgivings about the appropriate place and scope of intellectual property protections. The issues implicated range from anti‐competitive practices in the market, the imposition of limits on biomedical research, increasing costs for health care, research ethics, potentials for racial discrimination, and various violations of human rights. Exploring controversies around the Human Genome…
