Lay summary

Purpose: Ethnicity is one of the primary risk factors for COVID-19 complications and death, with South Asian and Black and African Caribbean communities in particular having higher risk. However, the reasons for this increased risk are not fully understood. This project seeks to understand the extent to which the increased risk in minority ethnic groups is explained by disparities and inequalities in underlying health status, lifestyle behaviours, environmental exposures and material deprivation. This will help inform public health priorities for prevention and managemen
