Disparities in completing testing for SARS-CoV-2 prior to otolaryngology procedures
Families were less likely to complete testing if surgery was being performed at a satellite location or if they lived in an area with lesser median household income. This work draws attention to the impact of socioeconomic factors on access to and compliance with pandemic mitigation measures, with important implications for future public health crises.
