SUMMARY:How COVID-19 Has Disproportionately Upended the Daily Lives of  Blacks\, Latinos and Native Americans
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, September 16\, 2020\, Noon – 1 p.m. ET \nOn every measure of daily life across the United States\, the COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately impacted communities of color.  A forthcoming NPR/Robert Wood Johnson Foundation/Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health poll reveals that at least four in ten Latino\, Black\, and Native American households report consuming all or most of their household savings during the pandemic. \nLatinos\, Blacks and Native Americans already suffer significantly higher rates of COVID-19 cases\, hospitalizations and deaths than whites\, and as this new poll reveals\, they also are experiencing disproportionately higher rates of financial instability\, unemployment\, food insecurity\, challenges with paying bills\, accessing medical care\, and caring for their children.   \nOn Wednesday\, September 16\, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health researcher Robert Blendon will share key findings from this large national survey. The poll of 3\,454 adults\, looks at the effects of the pandemic on household finances\, jobs\, health care\, housing\, transportation\, caregiving and wellbeing on communities of color. Lisa Cooper\, a professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins University and Avenel Joseph\, vice president for policy\, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation\, will react to the findings and discuss what state and federal policymakers should do in the short- and long-term to address these inequities.  \n\n\nRobert Blendon\, ScD\, Executive Director\, Harvard Opinion Research Program \n\n\nLisa Cooper\, MD\, Bloomberg Distinguished Professor\, Johns Hopkins University schools of Medicine\, Nursing and Public Health; Director\, Johns Hopkins Center for Health Equity   \n\n\nAvenel Joseph\, PhD\, Vice President for Policy\, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation \n\n\nModerator: Nicole Bronzan\, Senior Communications Officer\, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation \n\n\nRegister Here
