SARS-CoV-2 infections and attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccines among healthcare workers in the New York Metropolitan area, USA

“…Analysed data were from the Household Pulse Survey (HPS), a COVID-19 surveillance system designed to yield representative estimates for the US overall, all 50 US states and Washington, DC, as well as selected metropolitan areas. We largely focused on the New York Metropolitan Area for descriptive analyses given that New York City (NYC) was the original epicentre of the pandemic in the USA and still has a higher incidence rate than the national average 18–21. We also drew on pooled national HPS data within multivariable analyses to explore how HCW COVID-19-related experiences, perceptions and behaviours varied as a function of broader geographic, clinical and sociodemographic characteristics.…”

Training and cultivating the translational science workforce: Responses of Clinical and Translational Science Awards program hubs to the COVID‐19 pandemic

“…As a result of the COVID‐19 pandemic, there has also been widespread disruption in the research activities and training of pre‐doctoral, post‐doctoral, and early career researchers 2 . Surveys on the impact of the pandemic on this population identified institutional and structural as well as personal barriers that negatively impacted their careers 2,3 . Many institutions were no longer able to guarantee protected time for research and career development, leading to a significant disruption of research and impaired ability of trainees and scholars to achieve their research goals.…”

Reimagining a summer research program during COVID: Strategies for enhancing research workforce diversity

“…However, like many other CTSA hubs, in 2020 the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated an unanticipated and swift change in program format. Although previous work has described the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on CTR trainees and scholars [15,16], few studies have evaluated the effects of pandemic-related changes to the curriculum of a CTR training program [17]. In this paper, we will describe the process of quickly converting an established, in-person program to a comprehensive remote format, focusing on factors of diversity, equity, and inclusion.…”

“…From 2007 to 2019, MICHR's summer research program was implemented as an inperson, mentored research experience. However, like many other CTSA hubs, in 2020 the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated an unanticipated and swift change in program format.Although previous work has described the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on clinical and translational research trainees and scholars,15,16 few studies have evaluated the effects of pandemic-related changes to the curriculum of a clinical and translational research training program 17.
