ABSTRACT
COVID-19 disparities by area-level social determinants of health (SDH) may be impacting U.S. Veterans. This retrospective analysis utilized COVID-19 data from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)s EHR and geographically linked county-level data from 18 area-based socioeconomic measures. The risk of testing positive with Veterans county-level SDHs adjusting for demographics, comorbidities, and facility characteristics was calculated using generalized linear models. We found an exposure-response relationship whereby individual COVID-19 infection risk increased with each increasing quartile of adverse county-level SDH such as the percentage of residents in a county without a college degree, eligible for Medicaid, and living in crowded housing.
