Sara Sauer, PhD

Research Fellow in Global Health and Social Medicine

Dr. Sauer's research examines Covid-19 disparities in testing and outcomes in Holyoke, Massachusetts. In this work, she contributes to understanding the racial, ethnic, and data biases that lead to disparities in Covid-19 outcomes. She leads data analyses to quantify disparities in rates of hospitalization and death by race/ethnicity among persons with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. Dr. Sauer also co-leads analyses to elucidate community-level factors that mediate the relationship between race/ethnicity and hospitalization and death among persons with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection.
