Abstract
After one year of disseminating surveys and holding focus groups intended to examine the effect of immigration status on knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs around COVID-19 within the suburban Cook County Hispanic/Latino community, the collected data reveal the significant adversities and hardships these individuals have faced in dealing with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. I would like my research to grow and focus more specifically on the effect of undocumented status on Hispanic/Latino COVID-19 experiences. This proposal aims to transfer the knowledge gained regarding vaccine hesitancy and experiences during the pandemic and link identified existing resources with participants and community stakeholders.
