COVID-19大流行正在广泛削弱全球卫生和经济，同时对社会弱势群体产生不成比例的影响。有效的大流行监测解决方案必须从多方面整合健康的社会决定因素（SDoH），以便根据具体情况为传统流行病学因素提供信息。在本文中，我们描述了一个城市公共卫生观察站（UPHO）模型，我们已经在美国一个中等规模的大都市地区投入使用，以提供近实时的分析和当前COVID-19状况的仪表板。我们的目标是阐明SDoH因素与下游大流行健康结果之间的关联，为具体的政策决定和公共卫生规划提供信息。
The COVID-19 pandemic is broadly undercutting global health and economies, while disproportionally impacting socially disadvantaged populations. An impactful pandemic surveillance solution must draw from multi-dimensional integration of social determinants of health (SDoH) to contextually inform traditional epidemiological factors. In this article, we describe an Urban Public Health Observatory (UPHO) model which we have put into action in a mid-sized U.S. metropolitan region to provide near real-time analysis and dashboarding of ongoing COVID-19 conditions. Our goal is to illuminate associations between SDoH factors and downstream pandemic health outcomes to inform specific policy decisions and public health planning.
