Abstract

There is increasing evidence of inequities in COVID-19 infection, disease severity, and mortality across diverse ethnic groups. Despite calls to ensure ethnicity is integral to COVID-19 research, opportunities have been missed to engage with individuals from ethnic minority groups, and even more notably, recent migrants. There is an urgent need to strengthen patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE) and participatory research, as well as collaboration with healthcare workers from diverse migrant and ethnic backgrounds. This will require addressing multiple barriers to involvement, and a commitment to community-centred research to address the acute needs of the populations hardest hit by the pandemic.
