The COVID-19 pandemic revealed both strengths and vulnerabilities in national systems for public health preparedness and response. By examining how the United States approached prevention, coordination, and equity during COVID-19, this study will generate lessons to inform future national and global strategies for pandemic readiness.

CHRT’s role:

CHRT will conduct a comprehensive country case study for the NUS-Lancet PRIME Commission. This includes a scoping literature review, adaptation of research protocols and ethics submissions, stakeholder mapping, and interviews and focus groups with key leaders and affected communities. CHRT will analyze the qualitative data, contribute to a final report summarizing key findings, and collaborate on manuscripts for peer-reviewed publication.
