Activity: Periodic health examinations at nursing homes

A new study from the School of Public Health has identified differences in quality of life (QOL) between white and racial/ethnic minority residents living in nursing homes in Minnesota. Compared to white residents in nursing homes, racial/ethnic minority residents have a significantly lower QOL, regardless of the ratio of minority residents at the facility. The findings reveal the need to improve the care of racial/ethnic minority residents — especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
