Data Collection and Reporting

This study looks at data from a digital survey conducted for Arkansas residents to see if race, ethnicity, and other socioeconomic factors impacts a person’s preference for COVID-19 testing. Results found that individuals preferred drive through COVID-19 testing as their primary testing location. The authors posit that location and administration of COVID-19 testing should consider race and ethnicity to assist in eliminating disparities for these vulnerable groups.
