This literature review continues the analysis conducted in previous years by the Annual Review of Health Equity Research. In comparison to previous years, research pertaining to race continues to feature most often in the field, while this year place became the second-most featured theme. A new keyword commonly found in this year’s review was “COVID-19”, with research in inequities related to this novel pathogen focusing mostly on race, socioeconomic status, and personal characteristics that lend themselves to discrimination. We will likely continue to see new emerging themes in the coming years with new views into their impact on Chicago. In the same vein, we hope to see more research addressing solutions to these new and existing disparities as well. As problems are defined, so too can they be solved. To properly address these health inequities, more research will need to be done to examine solutions in Chicago, possibly with the aid of smaller, community-based coalitions and agencies who can address the needs of its residents.
