KFF Health Tracking Poll - July 2020
Coronavirus
Due to sample size limitations, we analyzed parents who are Black, Hispanic, Asian, other races, or mixed race as a group (referred to as “parents of color”) compared to their White counterparts. We recognize these groups all have unique experiences; however, the sample size of the poll does not provide sufficient numbers of parents in each of these individual racial/ethnic groups to break out separately.
States were categorized as coronavirus hotspots based on data available from KFF’s COVID-19 Metrics By States on July 20th, 2020 and qualified as a hotspot if cases had increased by 5% of more in the past 14 days and the positivity rate (14-day rolling average) was 10% or greater or if the positivity rate had increased by more than 1 percentage point in the past 14 days.
