Abstract

People with marginalized identities were disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. There was an increase in overdose-related mortality and an overall higher mortality rate among racial minorities. The pandemic also led to increased isolation among older adults, which has been linked to negative health outcomes. These issues were exacerbated in rural Appalachia when combined with existing health and socioeconomic disparities. In Spring 2021, interviews were conducted with older adults, Hispanic individuals, African American individuals, and people who use drugs in Virginia’s New River Valley, with the goal of understanding how the pandemic impacted these populations. Sixteen of those stories are presented here. A thematic analysis revealed major themes: 1) financial (in)security and unemployment, 2) access to resources, 3) internet and technology, 4) public health policies, 5) mental health and isolation, and 6) resilience.
大流行病中的人
COVID-19 大流行对边缘化人群的影响尤为严重。与用药过量有关的死亡率有所上升,少数种族的总体死亡率较高。大流行病还导致老年人更加孤独,这与不良健康后果有关。在阿巴拉契亚农村地区,这些问题与现有的健康和社会经济差距相结合,变得更加严重。2021 年春季,我们对弗吉尼亚州新河流域的老年人、西班牙裔个人、非裔美国人和吸毒者进行了采访,目的是了解大流行病对这些人群的影响。本文介绍了其中 16 个故事。主题分析揭示了主要的主题:1)经济(不)安全和失业;2)获取资源;3)互联网和技术;4)公共卫生政策;5)心理健康和孤独;6)复原力。
