ALT A screenshot of the article’s first page is shown. The title, in blue font, reads: COVID-19 Outcomes Among the Hispanic Population of 27 Large US Cities, 2020–2021. The article was written by Isabel P. De Ramos, Mariana Lazo, Alina Schnake-Mahl, Ran Li, Ana P. Martinez-Donate, Ana V. Diez Roux, and Usama Bilal. The Objectives section of the abstract reads: To examine racial/ethnic disparities in COVID-19 outcomes between Hispanics and Whites across 27 US jurisdictions whose health departments are members of the Big Cities Health Coalition (or BCHC). The Methods section reads: Using surveillance data from the BCHC COVID-19 dashboard as of mid-June 2021, we computed crude incidence, age-adjusted hospitalization and mortality, and full vaccination coverage rates for Hispanics and Whites by city. We estimated relative and absolute disparities cumulatively and for 2020 and 2021 and explored associations between city-level social vulnerability and the magnitude of disparities.
