Jingjing Shang, Professor of Nursing at Columbia University Medical Center, School of Nursing

This project is a nationwide survey to assess the home health care agencies' preparedness for COVID-19 outbreak. We leveraged the infrastructure we have developed for a NIH funded study on infection prevention and control in home health care. We sent a survey to 980 agencies nationwide between April 10-17, 2020 and received 117 responses, a 12 response rate. The data analysis is on-going.
