Abstract

Health Disparities. To (1) examine the association between the socioeconomic vulnerability of COVID-19 clinical services (access to testing and care) and public health measures (self-isolation) and (2) identify modifiable barriers to and facilitators of accessing COVID-19 prevention and testing services, as well as the ability to self-isolate, with the goal of producing the evidence needed to optimize the implementation of both biomedical and public health interventions for COVID-19 among vulnerable populations.
