我们根据影响暴露程度、流感病毒易感性以及治疗及时性和充分性的社会因素，探讨了美国不同社会经济和种族/族裔群体在流感大流行中的表现。我们讨论可能对社会群体的疾病或死亡风险产生不同影响的政策。我们的目的不是确定可能发生的差异的精确程度；而是确定可能发生的差异的精确程度。相反，它是为了提请人们注意在大流行病防备计划中没有系统地关注不同社会风险的情况下可以预见到的可避免的差异。联邦、州和地方各级的政策制定者应考虑大流行期间社会经济和种族/民族差异的潜在根源，并制定具体计划以尽量减少这些差异。
We explored how different socioeconomic and racial/ethnic groups in the United States might fare in an influenza pandemic on the basis of social factors that shape exposure, vulnerability to influenza virus, and timeliness and adequacy of treatment. We discuss policies that might differentially affect social groups' risk for illness or death. Our purpose is not to establish the precise magnitude of disparities likely to occur; rather, it is to call attention to avoidable disparities that can be expected in the absence of systematic attention to differential social risks in pandemic preparedness plans. Policy makers at the federal, state, and local levels should consider potential sources of socioeconomic and racial/ethnic disparities during a pandemic and formulate specific plans to minimize these disparities.
