More COVID-19 Cases, Deaths in Nursing Homes with More Black Residents

Columbia University Irving Medical Center Nursing homes (NHs) with Black residents had higher rates of COVID-19 infection and deaths during the first wave of the pandemic compared to those with no Black residents, according to new research from Columbia University School of Nursing. “It is likely that attributes of place, such as resources, services, and providers, important to equitable care and health outcomes are not readily available to counties where NHs have greater proportions of Black residents. Structural bias may underlie these inequities,” Professor Patricia Stone, PhD, director of the Center for Health Policy at Columbia Nursing, and her colleagues conclude in their report, published in April’s issue of the Journal of the American Medical Directors Association.
