The Impact of Social Vulnerability on COVID-19 in the U.S.: An Analysis of Spatially Varying Relationships	2020-06-26		.txt	text/plain	3668	208	46	This study estimates the association between case counts of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection and social vulnerability in the U.S., identifying counties at increased vulnerability to the pandemic. At the "global" level, overall Social Vulnerability Index (e β=1.65, p=0.03) and minority status and language (e β=6.69, p<0.001) were associated with increased COVID-19 case counts. In this study, minority status and language, household composition and transportation, and housing and disability predicted COVID-19 case counts in the U.S. Addressing the social factors that create poor health is essential to reducing inequities in the health impacts of disasters. At the "global" level, the finding that overall SVI and minority status and language were associated with increased COVID-19 case counts, highlights the impact of social vulnerability on the pandemic. In this study, minority status and language, household composition and disability, and housing and transportation were found to predict COVID-19 case counts in U.S. counties.	./cache/cord-317512-kx0u9955.txt	./txt/cord-317512-kx0u9955.txt
