They discuss the factors that influence the pervasiveness of the pandemic within these facilities, such as the social and economic condition of the surrounding area, the funding allocated to the nursing home, and the size of the nursing home itself. They also delve into the methodology of their research, their data sources, and the crucial role of considering geographic context in their study. Tune in to learn more about this critical aspect of public health. With special guests: Cynthia M.
