New study seeks to uncover hidden toll of COVID-19 on minority women

This study aims to understand the long-term mental, physical, and social impacts of COVID-19 on minority women and their families in North Carolina. About 700 healthy women aged 18 and older who are African American, Hispanic, Native American, Asian American, or Pacific Islander will take an online survey and may provide blood, urine, saliva, toenail, or dust samples. The goal is to identify key factors driving health disparities and help design community programs to support recovery.
