The Impact of COVID-19 on the Latinx Population: A Scoping Literature Review
1Saint Louis University, St. Louis, Missouri, USA.
Objectives:
To explore factors associated with the impact of COVID-19 on the Latinx population, a Scoping Review of literature was undertaken.
Design:
A systematic review was conducted utilizing the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Scoping Review (PRISMA ScR) guidelines. A search of databases PubMed, CINAHL, and APA PsycINFO was conducted and included studies through November 23, 2020.
Sample:
Selected articles were limited to English language, included population data from the US, were specific to the topic of COVID-19, Latinx community findings significantly addressed, and added significant information to the developing narrative not covered elsewhere.
Results:
Sixteen studies in the final selection included meta-analyses, community-based assessments, and electronic health records reviews of hospital systems and local/state/national public databases. This review describes the prevalence of COVID-19 in the Latinx population, social factors related to disease burden, and the economic implications and disproportionality of COVID-19.
Conclusions:
The impact of COVID-19 on the Latinx population is multi-factorial. More research is needed to examine each of these factors in greater detail.
