BIRMINGHAM, AL New research by the University of Alabama at Birmingham was published recently examining the impact of COVID-19 on African Americans living in minority communities in Alabama.
The study was conducted by investigators Lori Bateman, Ph.D., and Yu-Mei Schoenberger, Ph.D., as part of community engagement initiatives of UAB s Obesity Health Disparities Research Center.

Their research found that gaining community members perspectives to identify barriers and facilitators to COVID-19 related to prevention, coping and testing may potentially improve outcomes.
