- Haitians are the fourth largest Afro-Caribbean immigrant group in the U.S., and little research has been done on the factors affecting their lives, particularly how they are impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in education, health, and economic spheres.
- The paper highlights existing disparities among Haitians in the U.S. and discusses the significant challenges posed by COVID-19, particularly due to their pre-existing vulnerabilities.
- It advocates for the use of the Strategic Framework for Improving Racial and Ethnic Minority Health to develop systematic approaches to tackle these disparities and calls for further research and policy changes to improve the health of immigrant and minority populations in the U.S.
