"From 2021 to 2023, American Indian and Alaska Natives (AIANs) reported higher
rates of COVID-19 and long COVID than their non-AIAN counterparts, according to
a non–peer-reviewed study published on the
Research Square preprint platform.
Led by a researcher from the US National Bureau of Economic Research, the study
team surveyed more than 20,000 adult respondents, including public-use files
(datasets stripped of identifying information) and an oversample of AIANs, to
the
California Health Interview Survey from 2021 to 2023.
The goal was to estimate associations between demographic, socioeconomic, and
health characteristics and COVID-19 infection, long-COVID symptoms, vaccination
status, testing behavior, food insecurity, job loss, and fewer work hours.
By the end of 2020, “AIAN communities had approximately 1.6 times the number of
confirmed cases, 2.4 times the number of hospitalizations, and twice the
mortality rates associated with COVID-19 relative to the U.S. population
overall,” the authors noted."
