This study investigates the impact of racial residential segregation on COVID-19 mortality during the first year of the US epidemic. Data comes from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's and the University of Wisconsin's joint county health rankings project. The observation includes a record of 8,670,781 individuals in 1488 counties. We regressed COVID-19 deaths, using hierarchical logistic regression models, on individual and county-level predictors. We found that as racial residential segregation increased, mortality rates increased. Controlling for segregation, Blacks and Asians had a greater risk of mortality, while Hispanics and other racial groups had a lower risk of mortality, compared to Whites. The impact of racial residential segregation on COVID-19 mortality did not vary by racial group.
本研究调查了美国疫情第一年中,居住隔离对 COVID-19 死亡率的影响。数据来自疾病控制与预防中心(CDC)、罗伯特·伍德·约翰逊基金会和威斯康星大学联合开展的县健康排名项目。该观察记录了 1488 个县的 8670781 个人。我们使用分层逻辑回归模型,根据个体和县级预测因素,对 COVID-19 死亡进行回归。我们发现,随着居住隔离程度的增加,死亡率也随之上升。在控制隔离的情况下,与白人相比,黑人和亚洲人有更高的死亡率风险,而西班牙裔和其他种族群体的死亡率风险则较低。居住隔离对 COVID-19 死亡率的影响不因种族群体而异。
