Socioeconomic and environmental inequalities in health and COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the measures to combat it, have had important effects on health, in general, and on the mental health of subjects, in particular. These effects have been unequal between population groups defined by the axes of inequality: gender, age, socioeconomic conditions, as well as in the territory and throughout the pandemic period. On the other hand, it could have happened that the barriers to the use of telemedicine, forced by the pandemic situation, have increased these health inequalities. In our project we intend to evaluate the differential effects of COVID-19 on health inequalities and their determinants, between population groups, as well as their dynamics in space and time, and determine if the barriers to the use of telemedicine have increased them.
