An easy data collection.
-youth violence
-domestic violence
-alcohol and drug usage
-sex offences in homes against children, women, and the elderly
-Suicide and mental health increase and lack
of treatment
Just to name a few.
Action items and solutions for underserved and vulnerable
populations will be the most challenging to implement.
BEMA International
NIH NOSI to Support Studies
on COVID-19's Impact on Underserved and Vulnerable Populations
 ORWH
has announced its participation in Notice of Special Interest
(NOSI): Social, Behavioral, and Economic Impact of COVID-19 in
Underserved and Vulnerable Populations (NOT-MH-21-330). The COVID-19 pandemic
has demonstrated that prevention and mitigation strategies for the
pandemic are uneven—for a range of reasons, including a lack
of trust in health systems, economic circumstances, and challenges
in sustaining long-term adherence, especially for underserved and
vulnerable populations. By increasing our understanding of the
multifaceted effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and public health
interventions that mitigate risk and promote resilience in high-risk
populations, we can improve the long-term response to the pandemic
and prepare more effectively for future public health emergencies.
To strengthen the understanding and response to social, behavioral, and
economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, NIH is encouraging the
submission of applications that will:
- Address the roles and
effects of interventions, particularly those under the umbrella of
digital health, as well as community-engaged and multilevel
interventions in health care settings to address access, reach,
delivery, engagement, effectiveness, scalability, and
sustainability of services that are utilized during and following
the pandemic
- Encourage the
leveraging of existing large-scale data sources with broad
population coverage to improve prediction of various mitigation
efforts (including vaccinations, masking, and physical distancing)
on transmission reduction and on social and economic effects and
assess the downstream health and health care access effects, with
an emphasis on underserved and vulnerable populations
The first submission date is October 5, 2021,
and subsequent receipt dates will extend through September 8,
2024.
