到2020年5月中旬，美国大部分地区已经实施了数周的隔离令，以减少2019冠状病毒（COVID-19）的传播。随着各州开始取消这些命令以重新开放经济，COVID-19卷土重来的风险可能与公众自愿遵守公共卫生建议有关。我们对604名非裔美国人进行了一项具有全国代表性的调查，根据非裔美国人对公共卫生建议的遵守情况进行了风险评估，这些建议包括经常洗手、保持社交距离、避免接触面部、在公共场合戴口罩。据我们所知，这是对非裔美国人和针对COVID-19的公共卫生依从性进行的最全面的研究。表示他们总是遵守这些建议的受访者比例分别为72%、67%、55%和65%。基于这一阈值，非裔美国人遵守COVID-19公共卫生建议的程度表明，他们在重新开放期间可能面临COVID-19卷土重来的高风险，迫切需要有针对性的、符合文化的公共卫生信息，让有色人种社区能够获得，以帮助解决COVID-19风险中的种族差异。健康素养研究与实践[j].中国卫生科学，2020;4(3):e166-e170。
By mid-May 2020, most of the United States had been under shelter-in-place orders for several weeks to decrease the spread of coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). As states begin to lift these orders to reopen the economy, the risk of a resurgence of COVID-19 may be related to the public's voluntary adherence to public health recommendations. We conducted a nationally representative survey of 604 African Americans to generate a risk assessment based on African Americans' compliance with public health recommendations to frequently wash hands, maintain social distancing, avoid touching face, and wear a mask in public. This is, to our knowledge, the most comprehensive study of African Americans and public health adherence specific to COVID-19. The percent of respondents reporting that they always comply with these recommendations was 72%, 67%, 55%, and 65%, respectively. Based on this threshold, African Americans' level of adherence with COVID-19 public health recommendations suggests they may be at high risk of a resurgence of COVID-19 during reopening, and there is an urgent need for targeted, culturally responsive public health messaging that is accessible to communities of color to help address racial disparities in COVID-19 risk.
