Racial Health Equity Plans in the 30 Largest US Cities
ConclusionsThese findings reveal that few large cities translate growing support for anti-racism into their formal planning.

Characterizing Lung Cancer Burden Among Asian-American Communities in Philadelphia
The objective of this study was to describe LC burden and disparities among race/ethnic groups (White, Black, Asian, and Hispanic) across US census tracts (CT) in Philadelphia using the Pennsylvania Cancer Registry dataset (N=11,865). ArcGIS Pro was used to geocode patient addresses to the CT level for linkage to US Census data. Despite being diagnosed more frequently with advanced-stage lung cancer compared with other race and ethnic groups in Philadelphia, Asian patients were most likely to be alive at the time of data receipt. Among Asian subgroups, Korean patients were the oldest (median age 75,p=0.024). Although not s...

How Can the Roma Deal with the Health and Social Crisis Generated by the COVID-19 Pandemic? Inequalities, Challenges, and Successful Actions in Catalonia (Spain)
AbstractThe Roma is the most excluded non-migrant ethnic minority in Europe, facing prejudice, intolerance, discrimination, and social exclusion in their daily lives. This has led to a huge gap in several social domains between the Roma and non-Roma created for centuries. The COVID-19 pandemic has only increased the social and health inequalities that the Roma faced. In this context, it is important to identify actions that have been successful in mitigating the effects that the COVID-19 has had in increasing such inequalities. This paper presents the findings of a mixed-method study carried out in Catalonia (Spain) with t...

Racial, Ethnic, and Gender Differences in the Timing of Initiating the HPV Vaccine in the United  States: the Case of Southeast Asian Americans

Therefore, this study uses restricted data from the 2011–2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to disaggregate NL-Southeast Asian Americans and compare this population’s age-sp ecific probabilities of initiating HPV vaccinations to two Asian American subgroups (NL-...

Social-Economic Backgrounds to US County-Based COVID-19 Deaths: PLS-SEM Analysis
DiscussionIn light of these findings, it becomes evident that a “one-size-fits-all” approach to prevention strategies is suboptimal.
