“…Throughout the months of February 2020 through January 2021, PWD experienced job status changes that included transitioning from being employed to becoming unemployed, temporary layoffs, and termination (Houtenville et al, 2021). During the COVID-19 pandemic, PWD, compared to persons without disabilities, experienced adjustments in their workforce engagement (e.g., access to technology, remote work, implementation of safety measures) and greater job loss rates (Jashinsky et al, 2021).…”

The first case of COVID-19 was reported in the United States in January 2020. To date, the U.S. reports more than 87 million confirmed cases and more than 1 million related deaths. In the U.S., published research suggests that COVID-19 transmission and prevention practices presented challenges for people with disabilities regarding job status and access to services. To explore the impact of COVID-19 on employment and service provision for persons with disabilities (PWD), the authors performed a systematic review of published quantitative and qualitative studies conducted in the U.S. from January 2020 through December 2021. From the 19 identified studies, findings were grouped into three themes: employment, quality of life, and coping. The impact of COVID-19 and other adverse events (e.g., global pandemic, supply chain issues, financial recession, hurricanes, flooding, wildfires) on the provision of vocational rehabilitation services and employment outcomes for persons with disabilities should be further explored. Based on review findings, the COVID-19 Lived Experiences Scale for Persons with Disabilities (CLES-PWD) was created to understand the experiences of PWD in terms of their employment, quality of life, and coping. The CLES-PWD can serve as a tool for vocational rehabilitation professionals when providing employment planning to enhance employment outcomes.

“…Many BIPOC, especially Black individuals, were recounting previous racial trauma and the exhaustion of being a Black person in the United States alongside being one of the most impacted communities during the pandemic. When BIPOC individuals experience oppression amidst a global pandemic, they are typically affected by the impact of the global pandemic at a higher rate than non-marginalized populations, considering they are experiencing hardship and trauma on various levels while non-marginalized groups are not ( Jashinsky et al., 2021 ). Presently in 2022, these stressors are still occurring with new variants of COVID-19 leading to peaks in positive cases.…”

The ACE study ( Felitti et al., 1998 ) led to the recognition of the prevalence and impact of trauma. However, since the ACE study sample was mostly white and middle class, the Philadelphia task force implemented their own study to account for trauma of a more diverse sample. A result of the study was a list of evidence-based treatments to be utilized with BIPOC populations. Of the evidence-based treatments was, ecosystemic structural family therapy (ESFT). A similar effective approach is the family resilience framework. When combined, the approaches can be effective with BIPOC families during the global pandemic and racial trauma, something not typically at the forefront of family counseling goals. In this article, I explain the four steps family counselors should follow when combining the approaches to better approach and treat racial trauma while also partaking in effective advocacy to enhance family resilience of BIPOC families. A case study is provided for family counselors to understand how to effectively utilize this combined approach.

“…Health equity has always been a concern for many public health professionals; however the COVID-19 pandemic has led to increased visibility of disparate health outcomes for communities that have been made socially vulnerable by historical and current medical mistreatment, economic disinvestment, and discriminatory legal frameworks. In the United States these structural factors have most affected communities of color, with significantly worse effects for people who experience multiple forms of intersectional marginalization, such as gender and sexual minorities, people who use drugs, people with disabilities, and/or people experiencing homelessness (Poteat et al, [1]; Jashinsky et al, [2]). In the United States, many government entities have generated policy documents emphasizing the importance of partnering with affected communities when working to address these health disparities in COVID-19 and myriad other public health concerns (California Department of Public Health, [3]).…”

“We’re already doing this work”: ethical research with community-based organizations

Background Public health research frequently relies on collaborations with community-based organizations, and these partnerships can be essential to the success of a project. However, while public health ethics and oversight policies have historically focused on ensuring that individual subjects are protected from unethical or unfair practices, there are few guidelines to protect the organizations which facilitate relationships with – and are frequently composed of – these same vulnerable populations. As universities, governments, and donors place a renewed emphasis on the need for community engaged research to address systematic drivers of health inequity, it is vital that the ways in which research is conducted does not uphold the same intersecting systems of gender, race, and class oppression which led to the very same health inequities of interest. Methods To understand how traditional notions of public health research ethics might be expanded to encompass partnerships with organizations as well as individuals, we conducted qualitative interviews with 39 staff members (executive directors and frontline) at community-based organizations that primarily serve people who use drugs, Black men who have sex with men, and sex workers across the United States from January 2016 – August 2017. We also conducted 11 in-depth interviews with professional academic researchers with experience partnering with CBOs that serve similar populations. Transcripts were analyzed thematically using emergent codes and a priori codes derived from the Belmont Report. Results The concepts of respect, beneficence, and justice are a starting point for collaboration with CBOs, but participants deepened them beyond traditional regulatory concepts to consider the ethics of relationships, care, and solidarity. These concepts could and should apply to the treatment of organizations that participate in research just as they apply to individual human subjects, although their implementation will differ when applied to CBOs vs individual human subjects. Conclusions Academic-CBO partnerships are likely to be more successful for both academics and CBOs if academic researchers work to center individual-level relationship building that is mutually respectful and grounded in cultural humility. More support from academic institutions and ethical oversight entities can enable more ethically grounded relationships between academic researchers, academic institutions, and community based organizations.
