Description
Study design and setting: The Partnership for the Advancement of New Americans (PANA) is a research, public policy, and community organizing hub that serves refugees and asylum seekers in San Diego County. Data for the present cross-sectional study were collected between September 2020 and November 2020 as part of PANA’s biannual community survey. The survey was designed in English and translated into Arabic and Spanish by bilingual study staff. Interviewers were provided with a list of PANA members and the survey was subsequently administered over the phone and in person by trained research assistants in Arabic, Burmese, Dari, English, Karenni, Oromo, Pashto, Somali, Spanish, and Swahili. Up to two household members could be interviewed. However, interviewers tracked whether an individual had completed a survey or not. Data were collected as part of a programmatic report intended to provide a general overview of the community. As such, we did not conduct a priori power calculations focused on one specific outcome. Interviewers entered participant answers using Qualtrics software (Qualtrics ver. 2021). The survey contained 83 questions regarding demographics, COVID-19, housing, employment, health, children, belonging, and resilience. The survey took approximately 30 minutes to complete and up to 1 hour if it was being translated. The study team met weekly to discuss any issues with translation and address questions raised by survey administrators. Consistent with our participatory action approach, all data collection and analyses were conducted in conversation with PANA staff and guided by their lived expertise and organizational policy priorities. Variables for the present analyses were chosen in consultation with PANA leadership to address the primary research question: What is the association between housing and COVID-19 vulnerability? Vulnerability was broadly understood as both healthcare access and the broader mental health impact of the epidemic. The full report with all variables can be found elsewhere.
