This study investigates race-ethnic differences among older non-Hispanic Black, non-Hispanic White, and Hispanic adults' financial, employment, and stress consequences of COVID-19.
We use data from the Health and Retirement Study, including the 2020 COVID-panel, to evaluate a sample of 2,929 adults using a combination of bivariate tests, OLS regression analysis, and moderation tests.
Hispanic and non-Hispanic Black older adults experienced more financial hardships, higher levels of COVID-19 stress, and higher rates of job loss associated with COVID-19 relative to their Non-Hispanic White counterparts. Non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic adults reported significantly higher levels of COVID-19 resilience resources, yet, these resources were not protective of the consequences of COVID-19.
Understanding how the experiences of managing and coping with COVID-19 stressors differ by race-ethnicity can better inform intervention design and support services.
本研究调查了老年非西班牙裔黑人、非西班牙裔白人和西班牙裔成年人在新冠疫情期间的财务、就业和压力方面的种族差异。
我们使用来自健康与退休研究的数据，包括 2020 年新冠疫情面板，使用双变量检验、OLS 回归分析和调节检验相结合的方法，对 2929 名成年人进行评估。
与非西班牙裔白人相比，西班牙裔和非西班牙裔黑人老年成年人在新冠疫情期间经历了更多的经济困难、更高水平的新冠疫情压力以及更高的失业率。非西班牙裔黑人和西班牙裔成年人报告了更高水平的新冠疫情恢复资源，但这些资源并不能保护他们免受新冠疫情的影响。
了解管理和应对新冠疫情压力源的体验因种族和民族而异，可以更好地为干预措施的设计和支持服务提供信息。
