We sought to understand barriers to staying home from work when sick from COVID-19 (COVID-19 presenteeism) to understand COVID-19 health disparities and transmission and guide workplace and social policy.
We used logistic regression models to assess which socioeconomic factors were associated with intended COVID-19 presenteeism among an online study population working outside their home in March 2020 (N = 220).
Overall, 34.5% of participants reported intended COVID-19 presenteeism. Younger individuals and individuals making over $90,000 per year were less likely to report COVID-19 presenteeism. Individuals who were worried about having enough food had 3-fold higher odds of intended COVID-19 presenteeism.
Current policies around food access, paid sick leave, and other workplace protections need to be expanded and made more accessible to reduce health disparities as well as the transmission of COVID-19 and other infections.
我们试图了解感染新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）后仍带病上班（COVID-19出勤主义）的障碍，以了解COVID-19的健康差异和传播情况，并为工作场所和社会政策提供指导。
我们使用逻辑回归模型来评估在2020年3月离家在外工作的在线研究人群（N = 220）中，哪些社会经济因素与预期的COVID-19出勤主义相关。
总体而言，34.5%的参与者报告有预期的COVID-19出勤主义。较年轻的个体以及年收入超过9万美元的个体报告COVID-19出勤主义的可能性较小。担心没有足够食物的个体出现预期COVID-19出勤主义的几率高出3倍。
需要扩大围绕食物获取、带薪病假和其他工作场所保护的现行政策，并使其更易于获得，以减少健康差异以及COVID-19和其他感染的传播。
