ABSTRACT
Study Objectives:
The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated that social determinants of health (SDOH) are profoundly linked to the spread and outcomes of COVID-19. However, the relationships between these SDOH and COVID-19 spatial outbreaks have yet to be determined. We conducted spatial analyses with geographic information systems (GIS) mapping of county-level SDOH and regional COVID-19 infection outbreaks to demonstrate the most impactful SDOH and to provide a pragmatic visual guide to prevent future outbreaks.
