A project aims to investigate socioeconomic and racial disparities in healthcare services during the global COVID-19 pandemic. Funded by Gates Foundation.
A variety of social inequities across domains have emerged apparently and rapidly during the global COVID-19 pandemic, which generate major public health threats to the most vulnerable communities and underrepresented groups. Thus, the objective of our study is to investigate socioeconomic and racial disparities in healthcare services during the global COVID-19 pandemic with the goal to provide evidence for public health policy makers to make informed decisions and to promote equity in healthcare. The expected outcomes will be statistically tested hypotheses backed up with extensive and systematic data analyses to identify patterns and trends of socioeconomic and racial disparities in medical treatments for COVID-19 patients.
