Preliminary quantitative analysis of electronic record data of Cambridge Health Alliance (CHA) patients following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic showed that Hispanic and Spanish speaking patients were three times more likely to be hospitalized following COVID-19 diagnosis and respiratory clinic visits. With support from the CHA Foundation, an integrated team of ICH researchers, Harvard Medical School students and CHA providers conducted telephonic qualitative interviews with patients who identified as Hispanic / Latinx and had experienced severe COVID-19 to better understand contributing factors to this disproportionate rate of hospitalization. The interviews were conducted in Spanish and English and were developed with a trauma-informed approach. Insights from data collection and subsequent analysis were shared back with CHA to inform strategies that anticipate and respond to the needs of this population. The research team disseminated key findings to stakeholders beyond CHA through the publication of a peer-reviewed article.
