STUDY:Air pollution and COVID-19 mortality in the United States: Strengths and limitations of an ecological regression analysis

Tue, 2020-11-10 13:00 — mike kraft
Air pollution and COVID-19 mortality in the United States: Strengths and limitations of an ecological regression analysis Assessing whether long-term exposure to air pollution increases the severity of COVID-19 health outcomes, including death, is an important public health objective. Limitations in COVID-19 data availability and quality remain obstacles to conducting conclusive studies on this topic. At present, publicly available COVID-19 outcome data for representative populations are available only as area-level counts. Therefore, studies of long-term exposure to air pollution and COVID-19 outcomes using these data must use an ecological regression analysis, which precludes controlling for individual-level COVID-19 risk factors.
