"Disaggregating Asian Race Reveals COVID-19 Disparities among Asian Americans at New York City's Public Hospital System": In this pre-print manuscript, investigators at New York City Health and Hospitals (H+H) and NYU Center for the Study of Asian American Health examined disparities in COVID-19 outcomes among Asian patients seeking care in the country’s largest safety-net system between March 1 and May 31, 2020. South Asians had the highest rates of positivity and hospitalization among Asians, second only to Hispanics for positivity and Blacks for hospitalization. Chinese patients had the highest mortality rate of all groups and were nearly 1.5 times more likely to die than Whites. The high burden of COVID-19 among South Asian and Chinese Americans underscores the urgent needs for improved data collection and reporting as well as public health program and policy efforts to mitigate the disparate impact of COVID-19 among these communities." Please share these important findings from within our communities widely.
