A New Database to Measure the Association Between Income, Race, and Mortality: Inequality in Longevity During and Beyond the COVID-19 Pandemic Disparities
This project will build a public database of mortality rates incorporating socioeconomic and demographic variables across the U.S. population. Researchers will be able to analyze the sources of disparate impacts of COVID-19 on mortality across subgroups, with the aim of understanding how to reduce health inequality.
