Equity in COVID-19 Testing and Vaccine: A Qualitative Analysis of 14 US Cities
As part of our efforts to track health inequities exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and what cities are doing to combat these inequities, we are engaged in a qualitative analysis of 14 BCHC cities (chosen based on data availability, size, and location). This analysis consists of 1) systematic coding of city’s publicly available policies and initiatives to address inequity in testing and vaccination 2) qualitative interviews with senior health department officials and 3) a second round of systematic coding to capture changes in strategy and policy since the first round of coding.
