Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic revealed a disproportionate risk of the disease in communities of color. The present study explored the impact of the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic on self-reported adaptation and coping, compared by the race of the respondent. Results from an anonymous, cross-sectional, online survey administered in June 2020 found that Black/African American adult respondents were less likely than non- Black/African American adult respondents to agree that they felt prepared for the COVID-19 outbreak; they were more likely than non- Black/African American adults to agree that they were personally affected by the COVID-19 outbreak, and more likely to have financial challenges as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. The findings of this study reveal differences in experiences and adaptability of Black/African American adults as compared to non-Black/African American adults. This study provides important suggestions for developing and framing policies and interventions capable of addressing the needed services for Black/African American adults impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

研究COVID-19大流行对黑人/非洲裔美国成年人的早期影响

2019冠状病毒病大流行显示，有色人种社区患这种疾病的风险过高。本研究探讨了COVID-19大流行早期对自我报告的适应和应对的影响，并按受访者的种族进行了比较。2020年6月进行的一项匿名横断面在线调查的结果发现，黑人/非裔美国人成年受访者比非黑人/非裔美国人成年受访者更不可能同意他们为2019冠状病毒病的爆发做好了准备;他们比非黑人/非洲裔美国成年人更有可能同意他们个人受到COVID-19爆发的影响，并且更有可能因COVID-19爆发而面临财务挑战。本研究的结果揭示了黑人/非裔美国成年人与非黑人/非裔美国成年人在经历和适应能力方面的差异。本研究为制定和制定政策和干预措施提供了重要建议，这些政策和干预措施能够解决受COVID-19大流行影响的黑人/非裔美国成年人所需的服务。
