IHPS faculty are responding to policy challenges raised by the COVID-19 pandemic with rapid-cycle researchand technical assistance. A compilation of their work to date can be found here and will be updated regularly.
This project is an extension of some early work done in California and other states. The project will examine California and 3-4 additional states that have established alternative care settings to learn about the purpose of the settings, job actions (descriptions), staffing strategies, training, and personnel and staffing plans.

PRIORITY (Pregnancy CoRonavIrus Outcomes RegIsTrY) is a nationwide study of people under investigation for or with confirmed COVID-19 who are pregnant or recently pregnant, and their newborns. PRIORITY is enrolling participants nationwide at https://priority.ucsf.edu to provide information to help patients and healthcare providers better understand how COVID-19 impacts pregnant people and their newborns. Mother and infant participants will be followed for 12 months after delivery to assess both immediate outcomes associated with acute COVID-19 and subsequent consequences including ongoing respiratory, neurological or systematic symptoms, mental health concerns and receipt of preventive services including contraception and immunization.
