Black Families’ Social and Cultural Capital During COVID: Families Talk About Coping and Supports

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: We used NVivo for inductive semantic coding of 619 Black caregivers’ qualitative responses from the RAPID Survey regarding about they were coping with the challenges of COVID-19. Kinship networks and religion/spirituality were the two most frequently mentioned coping strategies followed by government financial support (e.g. stimulus money, food stamps), workplace flexibility (e.g. working from home or taking time off), engaging in COVID-related health behaviors (e.g. social distancing), and maintaining an optimistic outlook despite the challenges.
