More Than a Statistic: a Qualitative Study of COVID-19 Treatment and Prevention Optimization for Black Americans	2020-10-06		.txt	text/plain	841	49	36	4 Community-based methods and partnerships with underrepresented populations can increase trust and study participation; accordingly, we sought to understand potential barriers specific to COVID-19 treatment and prevention in Black Americans using focus groups. Regarding optimized treatments for and prevention of COVID-19 among Black Americans, three major themes emerged: patient autonomy, holism, and structural racism. Emergent themes in our focus groups suggest that community involvement at the outset is critical for proper needs assessments, as well as in subsequent design and implementation of any new approaches aimed at assessing or reducing unfair burden of morbidity and mortality due to conditions disproportionately affecting Black Americans. Overall, findings highlight the importance of understanding community concerns about the orchestration of optimized treatments for COVID-19 among Black Americans, and underscore the health benefits of building community trust through early research involvement.	./cache/cord-286679-g67ewzlp.txt	./txt/cord-286679-g67ewzlp.txt
