The hidden crisis: Long COVID's association with housing stability and home accessibility among people with disabilities
Background
The COVID-19 pandemic has given rise to the emerging phenomenon known as Long COVID, characterized by persistent symptoms long after the acute infection has passed. However, the relationship of Long COVID on housing stability and home accessibility remains underexplored.
Objective
This manuscript aims to comprehensively examine the association of Long COVID on housing stability and accessibility, identifying challenges faced by people with Long COVID and potential strategies to address them.
Methods
The study employs a cross-sectional mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative methods. It analyzes data from 1533 people with disabilities, 514 with Long COVID and 1019 without Long COVID, to compare demographics, housing stability, financial concerns, housing problems, and home accessibility. Qualitative analysis extracts thematic insights from 13 participant narratives.
Results
Individuals with Long COVID exhibit significantly higher rates of housing instability (21.1 % v. 8.1 %, p < 0.001) and financial concerns, such as worries about high rent or mortgage (50.4 % v. 40.0 %, p < 0.001), compared to those without Long COVID. They also report more frequent issues with pests (30.0 % v. 23.5 %, p < 0.01) and mold (22.0 % v. 12.7 %, p < 0.001) in their homes. Qualitative analysis reveals financial setbacks, difficulties in obtaining support, and the challenges of home accessibility.
Conclusions
Associations between Long COVID and challenges related to housing stability and home accessibility highlight the need for systemic changes, financial support, and advocacy. This research contributes to understanding Long COVID's challenges, informing policy development, and promoting compassionate responses, ensuring the well-being of people with Long COVID.
