Abstract

African immigrants have been uniquely affected by the coronavirus crisis. However, to date, information is not being systematically collected and translated to support real-time development of effective, culturally, and linguistically COVID-19 engagement and healthcare practices. The enhancement to this project aims to document COVID-19-related health challenges facing African immigrants using photovoice in six New England states. The findings are expected to produce knowledge to inform interventions engaging African immigrant patients in COVID-19 prevention, testing, and treatment options and also contribute to the body of knowledge needed for managing the capacity at hospitals and healthcare systems to adequately serve immigrants, including African immigrants, during a pandemic.
