ACBS Endorses Society of Behavioral Medicine Position Statement Calling for Equitable Healthcare during COVID-19 Pandemic

ACBS is proud to endorse the Society of Behavioral Medicine's position statement calling for equitable healthcare during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

In Summary:

We urge research on disparities in COVID-19-related morbidity and mortality outcomes. We also urge policy actions to enable proactive remediation of healthcare disparities.
