Abstract
Introduction: Little is known about the experiences of immigrant families with COVID-19 illness. This mixed methods study compared child and household experiences at the time of a child’s COVID-19 diagnosis between immigrant and US-born parents and explored immigrant Latino perspectives on underlying causes of COVID-19 disparities between immigrant and US-born families. Methods: Study data includes surveys of parents of a child with a positive SARS-CoV2 test resulting at Children’s Hospital Colorado and focus groups with Latino immigrant adults. We compared household COVID-19 experiences, use of mitigation measures, vaccine intention and sociodemographic information between survey participants stratified by nativity and completed thematic qualitative data analysis. Results: Findings from quantitative data were reinforced by qualitative data including: lower socio-economic status and higher employment in essential services increased infections and spread in immigrant families and higher risk of limited information access related to language barriers and prevalent misinformation. Survey results showed no difference in COVID-19 vaccine intention by nativity. Focus group participants reported limited access to non-English language culturally-tailored vaccine information and competing work demands decreased uptake. Conclusion: Avoiding exacerbating disparities in the face of another public health emergency requires focused investments in policies and approaches specifically directed at immigrant communities.
