Associations Between Individual Demographic Characteristics And Involuntary Health Care Delays As A Result Of COVID-19.

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted access to medical care for millions of Americans, yet information on the individual characteristics associated with these disruptions is lacking. We used recently released data from the Current Population Survey's supplemental COVID-19 questions to provide the first evidence on associations between individual characteristics, including age, sex, race/ethnicity, education, health status, work-limiting disabilities, health insurance coverage, and employment, and the propensity to experience an involuntary care disruption resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
