  This one and half-hour online session will focus on how the COVID-19 pandemic has had a disproportionate impact on communities of color. The pandemic both highlighted enduring racial and ethnic health disparities and exacerbated already existing disparities, resulting in negative impacts on the Hispanic and Latinx communities. While the Hispanic and Latinx community is strong and resilient, information regarding the negative impacts of the pandemic on this community is needed to inform recommendations for recovery. Part 1 of this webinar series will review qualitative and quantitative findings regarding the impact, including the mental and behavioral health impact, of the COVID-19 pandemic on Hispanic and Latinx residents of Ohio. Findings may offer insight into the experience of Hispanics and Latinxs broadly and may offer targets for intervention.
