COVID-19 Research

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on public health, health care, health policy, and all intersecting sectors. North Carolina researchers have been documenting this impact since the beginning, identifying trends in infection, protective behaviors, and vaccination. Researchers are also continually investigating solutions to improve the health of our state and beyond, both during and outside of a health crisis.
