Title of Collaborative Activity:

Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Excess Deaths During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Description of Collaborative Activity:

Although racial/ethnic disparities in U.S. COVID-19 death rates are striking, focusing on COVID-19 deaths alone may underestimate the true effect of the pandemic on disparities. Excess death estimates capture deaths both directly and indirectly caused by COVID-19 excess deaths and excess deaths per 100,000 persons from March to December 2020 were estimated by race/ethnicity, sex, age group, and cause of death, using provisional death certificate data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and U.S. Census Bureau population estimates.
