Structural Racism, COVID-19, and Environmental Injustices



Funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation through HPRS, we describe the effect that structural racism and where one lives both have on COVID-19 risk factors. We focus on injustices in the health systems and services and the environment. Future work will include a county-level analysis of COVID-19 mortality and risk factors related to access to health systems and services for historically marginalized communities
