“…Masks or face coverings such as bandanas, may be linked to crime and influence perceptions of criminal activity by Black men [ 41 ]. Data from the US Police Shooting Database show that unarmed Black Americans, compared to unarmed White Americans, are three times more likely to be shot by the police [ 42 , 43 ]. Such data underscore concerns by Blacks regarding the use of masks to mitigate COVID-19.…”

There is growing attention to disparities in the incidence, prevalence, and mortality associated with COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease 2019) in racial/ethnic communities. The conditions leading to these disparities may be a function of social determinants of health and stigma linked to the disease. It is important to examine how these factors may be implicated in COVID-19 onset, treatment, and outcomes. A brief overview of these issues allows for a cursory examination of the role of social determinants of health and stigma in COVID-19. Consideration is given to how understanding COVID-19 in the context of social determinants and stigma may be included in interventions to mitigate its transmission within vulnerable populations.

“…In an effort to shed light on these issues from the research perspective, the senior one of us (C.T.L.) was the first to identify six ways police profiling and racial discrimination impact Black American health ( Laurencin and Walker, 2020 ) and the first to explore, analyze, and publish on the disproportionate rate of COVID-19 infections and deaths taking place in the Black community in the refereed literature ( Laurencin and McClinton, 2020 ). The United States now faces a pandemic on a pandemic, with the most virulent of the two being racism.…”

As a community member of the Connecticut Racial Profiling Prohibition Project Advisory Board, I wish to acknowledge the group for its work, but to make clear there is much more to be done. While the state's data show more parity across departments, we know that unconscious bias and racism still exists. I wish to advocate for the committee's work to focus on answering three new questions.1. How does the community feel about its relationship with the police? 2. How do those who are stopped by the police feel about their experience? 3. To what extent do the police understand the principles of unconscious bias, racism, and trauma-informed policing? How effectively do they use that knowledge to help work with communities in policing?
