If one thing is clear, the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated existing inequities across social determinants of health. As we think about the multifaceted impact of an overturning of Roe v. Wade, we must also do so pragmatically with an equity lens. There is data to indicate that an overturning of Roe v. Wade will further magnify divisions along the lines of the social gradient of health.

On May 2, 2022, news broke that Roe v. Wade would be overturned according to an initial draft majority opinion released by Politico. In the political economy that we find ourselves in, this news has had the immediate consequence of furthering divisions between Americans — those in favor of the ruling and those against.

If one thing is clear, the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated existing inequities across social determinants of health. Cities and urban environments tend to have large gaps in health care accessibility and correspondent health care disparities. Despite the existence of localized public health infrastructure, such infrastructure tends to be fragmented and cannot fully encompass the level of nuance within its patient population as a result. As such, health care inequities are cyclically perpetuated in part through discontinuous health systems. Smarter, patient-centric approaches are needed to move the needle forward and improve at-risk populations’ clinical care and associated outcomes. While technology is often thought of as the proprietor to achieve this goal, low-cost educational interventions and updated guidelines may serve as equally reliable or even better methods to attain this outcome.
