跨学科的专家和学者指出，美国新型冠状病毒（COVID-19）大流行造成的人员伤亡对于有色人种社区来说根本上是不平等的。有关公共卫生的现有文献认为，健康结果种族差异的主要预测因素之一是少数群体社区之间缺乏机构信任。此外，在我们对美国县级的分析中，我们发现黑人和西班牙裔居民比例较高的县因 COVID-19 造成的累计死亡人数要高得多。根据现有文献和我们自己的分析，更好地了解如何减轻或预防未来任何流行病或公共卫生紧急情况的这些不平等结果至关重要。因此，我们评估了这样一种说法：提高机构信任，主要是科学信任，是减轻这些种族不平等的关键。利用一种新的、大流行前的科学信任衡量标准，我们发现，与对政治家或媒体的信任不同，对科学的信任显着提高了对跨越种族界限的 COVID-19 社会疏远政策的支持。我们的研究结果表明，增加科学信任对于获得公共卫生政策的支持至关重要，这些政策可以减轻当前以及未来可能发生的流行病的严重性。
Pundits and academics across disciplines note that the human toll brought forth by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in the United States (U.S.) is fundamentally unequal for communities of color. Standing literature on public health posits that one of the chief predictors of racial disparity in health outcomes is a lack of institutional trust among minority communities. Furthermore, in our own county-level analysis from the U.S., we find that counties with higher percentages of Black and Hispanic residents have had vastly higher cumulative deaths from COVID-19. In light of this standing literature and our own analysis, it is critical to better understand how to mitigate or prevent these unequal outcomes for any future pandemic or public health emergency. Therefore, we assess the claim that raising institutional trust, primarily scientific trust, is key to mitigating these racial inequities. Leveraging a new, pre-pandemic measure of scientific trust, we find that trust in science, unlike trust in politicians or the media, significantly raises support for COVID-19 social distancing policies across racial lines. Our findings suggest that increasing scientific trust is essential to garnering support for public health policies that lessen the severity of the current, and potentially a future, pandemic.
