Levine, C. and Jansson, D. (2021). Concepts and Terms for Addressing Disparities in Public Health Emergencies: Accounting for the COVID-19 Pandemic and the Social Determinants of Health in the United States. Disaster Medicine and Public Health Preparedness. June 8:1–7.
This article “reviews the historic use of concepts and terms to describe populations disproportionately impacted by emergencies” due to existing disparities. The authors recommend that emergency-related activities target social determinants of health (SDOH) and attributes from the Community Resilience Assessment Measure (CRAM) to mitigate inequities, which are exacerbated in emergencies.
