Testing a Mobile App and Counseling-Based Waiting Room Intervention Created with and for Young Black Women to Educate About Dual Protection
|
Black and Latino people face a higher incidence rate of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and tend to experience poorer access to quality health care compared with whites. Income, education, and insurance coverage differentials are typically identified as risk factors, but neighborhood-level analyses may provide additional insights. CHAS Fellow and Professor at UChicago's Department of Sociology,
Kathleen Cagney
and colleagues Haena Lee, PhD (UMichigan), Julia Caldwell, PhD (UChicago), Chieko Maene, MS (UChicago) and Milda Saunders, MD, MPH (UChicago) examine whether neighborhood racial composition contributes to racial/ethnic inequities in access to high-quality dialysis care in Chicago.

The Washington Post: "We can’t protect nursing homes from Covid-19 without protecting everyone."
|
Nursing home residents are at high risk for infection, serious illness, and death from COVID-19. According to a research team, which includes CHAS Fellow
R. Tamara Konetzka
,
Professor of Public Health Sciences at the University of Chicago, location and facility size matter in predicting whether a nursing home will have a serious COVID-19 outbreak. Along with Brown University's Professor Vincent Mor and Harvard Professor David C. Grabowski, Dr. Konetzka determined the most important factors influencing whether and how large an outbreak occurs in a nursing home are the population density of the county in which the facility is located, the prevalence of the virus reported in the county and the racial distribution of the nursing home, which are all correlated. Because of these factors, nursing homes must remain vigilant deterring COVID-19 among residents and health care providers in order to prevent spread and protect residents and HCPs from severe infections, hospitalizations, and death. Please read the team's Washington Post COVID-19 op-ed for research team recommendations.
