CME Credits: 1.00

Released: 2021-12-08

More than 10.7 million undocumented immigrants and 8 million citizens with at least 1 undocumented family member live in the US. Evidence shows that immigrants are at increased risk for COVID-19 infection- and have high levels of distrust in public systems. Contact tracing is an effective way to mitigate disease transmission but requires trust and cooperation among infected persons and their contacts. Using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sample contact tracing script as a framework, we describe undocumented immigrants’ attitudes about contact tracing and challenges that may be a factor in their ability to follow contact tracing and public health guidelines.
