This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) totaling $793,275 aims to study the tradeoffs between the equal and equitable distribution of scarce health resources, such as vaccines, during times of scarcity. The research team at the University of Michigan, with a sub-award to Stanford University, will leverage a large randomized natural experiment to analyze inequities in vaccine uptake across dimensions of health, social vulnerability, and race, even when early access is randomized. They will quantify the extent to which various mechanisms like health behaviors, conditions, and social factors explain persistent inequities. Additionally, they will characterize how the composition of the vaccinated population changes as vaccination rates expand, and relate those changes to inequities in downstream health and economic outcomes. The goal is to inform evidence-based policies to address health disparities and improve public health when resources are scarce.
