- Abstract
The purpose of this scoping review was to examine the literature about Coro-navirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and health and rehabilitation implications for persons of color, including those with multiple marginalized statuses (i.e., racial/ethnic minority and disability), and map out research gaps. Several themes emerged from this review that included disproportionate burdens of infections, hospitalizations and deaths; structural racism as a driver of inequity; diminished employment opportunities, and limited data on race and disability. The findings revealed the existence of serious evidence gaps relating to multiply marginalized people of color with disabilities within the COVID-19 context. A clear need exists for more research on COVID-19 outcomes disaggregated by disability and race so that the field has a fuller understanding of the impact of the pandemic on people of color with disabilities. Additionally, minority serving institutions (e.g., HBCUs and TCUs), as experts in addressing marginalized communities' needs, should play a leadership role in equity research.
