Study examines why COVID-19 hits older minorities harder


A report published in the Journals of Gerontology from researchers at Florida State University, Duke University, and the University of Nebraska found economic and family living conditions may be factors in why COVID-19 disproportionately affects older minority populations. "In criminal justice, education, health care and employment to name a few, we need social policies to reduce systemic inequality and that will produce better population health," said researcher Patricia Homan, assistant professor of sociology and associate at the Pepper Institute on Aging and Public Policy at FSU.
