The integration of health equity into policy to reduce disparities: Lessons from California during the COVID-19 pandemic. by Ada T Kwan, Jason Vargo, Caroline Kurtz, Mayuri Panditrao, Christopher M Hoover, Tomás M León, David Rocha, William Wheeler, Seema Jain, Erica S Pan, Priya B Shete

“…Using California's approach, we categorized the state population by HPI quartiles at the state and within-county levels (HPIQ1 representing the least advantaged, HPIQ4, the most advantaged) from HPI data available to demonstrate how the state monitored crude COVID-19 test, case, mortality, and vaccine rates and unadjusted rate ratios (RR) using equity metrics developed for the Blueprint. Notable patterns emerged. Testing disparities disappeared during the summer and winter surges but resurfaced between surges. …”
