Geographic Disparities In Covid-19 Testing: An Urgent Call To Action, Shannon M. Monnat, Kent Jason G. Cheng
Geographic Disparities In Covid-19 Testing: An Urgent Call To Action, Shannon M. Monnat, Kent Jason G. Cheng
Population Health Research Brief Series
This research brief shows that testing rates are lower in states with the unhealthiest populations and worst health care access. Disparities in testing rates are troubling because delays in testing increase the risk of a surge in silent spread and severe COVID-19 cases in these states.
Covid-19 Testing Rates Are Lower In States With More Black And Poor Residents, Shannon M. Monnat, Kent Jason G. Cheng
Covid-19 Testing Rates Are Lower In States With More Black And Poor Residents, Shannon M. Monnat, Kent Jason G. Cheng
Population Health Research Brief Series
This data slice shows that testing rates to date have been lower in states with higher percent black populations and higher poverty rates. Without proper testing and physical distancing protocols, these states risk a surge in severe COVID-19 cases, overwhelming their already resource strapped healthcare systems.
Covid-19 Cases Are Clustered In Large Urban Hubs, But Rural Areas Surrounding Those Hubs Are Also Increasingly Affected, Yue Sun
Population Health Research Brief Series
As COVID-19 continues to evolve, we are seeing more cases in urban areas, however, this data slice shows where trends are heading next.

The Spatial Distribution Of New York State’S Older Population: Let’S Keep New York’S Older Adults Safe And Healthy During The Coronavirus Pandemic, Mary E. Helander
Population Health Research Brief Series
This brief addresses the concern for older adults' health during the COVID-19 outbreak, highlights the distribution of this population throughout New York State, and recommends ways to keep them safe during this time.
There Are Multiple And Geographically Distinct Opioid Crises In The U.S., Shannon M. Monnat
There Are Multiple And Geographically Distinct Opioid Crises In The U.S., Shannon M. Monnat
Population Health Research Brief Series
Rates of fatal drug overdose increased 250% in the U.S. between 1999 and 2017, due in large part to a massive surge in overdoses involving opioids. However, there is substantial geographic variation in fatal opioid overdoses, and prescription opioids, heroin, and fentanyl are differentially responsible for high overdose rates across different parts of the U.S. This research brief summarizes the findings from a study just published in the American Journal of Public Health. The study shows that there are at least four geographically distinct opioid overdose crises in the U.S.

Suicide Rates Have Soared Among Middle-Aged White Women In The U.S., Julene Kemp Cooney
Population Health Research Brief Series
Suicide rates among middle-aged white women in the U.S. have soared since the early 2000s. Rates for white women have increased across all age groups, but they are the highest among those ages 35-64.
Life Expectancy Is Increasingly Tied To Our Education Level, Jennifer Karas Montez
Life Expectancy Is Increasingly Tied To Our Education Level, Jennifer Karas Montez
Population Health Research Brief Series
In the U.S., an individual’s education level is one of the strongest predictors of how long they will live. Since the mid-1980s, it has become an increasingly strong predictor. This is true for women and men and for different race and ethnic groups.
