Abstract

Starting October 2022, the Boston Public Health Commission implemented a neighborhood-level wastewater-based epidemiology program to inform strategies to reduce COVID-19 inequities. We collected samples twice weekly at 11 neighborhood sites, covering approximately 18% of Boston, Massachusetts's population. Results from the program's first year revealed inequities unobservable in regional wastewater data both between the City of Boston and the greater Boston area and between Boston neighborhoods. We report program results and neighborhood-specific recommendations and resources to help residents interpret and use our findings.

在马萨诸塞州波士顿市实施基于邻里一级废水的流行病学研究，以衡量和缓解 SARS-CoV-2 感染的不公平现象。

从 2022 年 10 月开始，波士顿公共卫生委员会实施了一项基于社区废水的流行病学计划，旨在为减少 COVID-19 不平等现象的策略提供信息。我们每周两次在 11 个社区地点采集样本，覆盖了马萨诸塞州波士顿市约 18% 的人口。该计划第一年的结果显示，波士顿市与大波士顿地区之间以及波士顿居民区之间都存在区域废水数据无法观察到的不公平现象。我们报告了该计划的结果以及针对特定社区的建议和资源，以帮助居民解释和使用我们的发现。(Am J Public Health.https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2024.307749).
