Title of Article: Delay or Avoidance of Medical Care Because of COVID-19–Related Concerns — United States, June 2020
Date of Article: 9/11/2020
Journal Name: Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report
B. Summary of Article:
This survey was conducted among American adults and observed that many respondents (approximately 40.9%) delayed and/or avoided routine, urgent, and/or emergency medical care during the COVID-19 pandemic. This avoidance of urgent or emergency care was found to be significantly higher within the following criteria: unpaid adult caregivers; people with underlying
medical conditions (obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and any type of cancer); people with health insurance; ethnicity (such as Blacks, Hispanic or Latino adults); youth; and people with disabilities. Based on the results, it was concluded that those most at risk for severe COVID-19 were more likely to delay medical care in 2020 and 2021, which could lead to widespread and evolving measures. C. Evaluation of Article:
While complying with applicable federal law and CDC policy; with the approval of Monash University's Human Research Ethics Committee, the purpose of this article is to inform the reader, to understand the correlation between delayed medical care, demographics, and individual health status. This is important in predicting the potential long-term health effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. D. Reflection on Application to Practice:
This article is important in predicting the potential long-term health effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, CDC has issued guidelines and safety precautions for facilities to reduce exposure to COVID-19, such as telehealth and telemedicine. In response, public education has become a potential attempt to get the message across about the risks of delaying medical care. Since then, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic seems to have gone
unchecked, as new variants are announced, either by mutation or airborne. This seems to be a persistent problem in delaying medical treatment.
