Tracking the Economic Fallout of COVID-19: Recession and Economic Impacts of COVID-19 in Missouri and the Nation Course
Tracking the Economic Fallout of COVID-19: Recession and Economic Impacts of COVID-19 in Missouri and the Nation Course is organized by Centene Institute for Advanced Health Education.
Dates: November 19, 2021 - November 19, 2024
Description:
The economic collapse caused by COVID-19 resulted in a depression-like blow for lower-income workers, women, and minorities (Long, 2020). This economic environment is exacerbated by the ongoing social determinants of health challenges to vulnerable populations, including food insecurity, housing insecurity, losses of health insurance, and delays in obtaining needed health care. This course will explore the links between COVID-19, the economy, social determinants of health risk factors, and other challenges these factors create for health systems and society.
Learning Objectives:
• Analyze the impact of the recession and its effect on job losses.
• Describe the relationship between joblessness and challenges impacting health access and health status.
• Evaluate the disparities in the impact of COVID-19 as it pertains to job loss and people of color.
