NIOSH releases research agenda for COVID-19 Issues
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) released a research agenda for critical issues involved in the COVID-19 pandemic. Future research should focus on essential workers involved in critical continuity functions in the United States, according to NIOSH.
The institute also emphasized the need for a research focus on immigrant workers, workers with disabilities and special needs, workers with limited English proficiency, workers with lower incomes, and racial and ethnic minority groups to address the health disparities and inequities faced by workers in those populations.
