商品描述

Focused on the United States, this book summarizes the secondary impacts of COVID-19 due to the increased use of technology. Establishing the global response of social distancing, mandates for non-essential business, and working from home, the book centers on the disparate guidance provided domestically at the state and local levels. Marginalized populations are highlighted to identify areas where technology facilitated access and reach or contributed to difficulties catapulted by digital literacy or digital access issues. To explain how people may have been empowered or left behind due to a new and unique reliance on technology, this book is structured based on the social determinants of health domains. Specifically, this book explains how technology was an umbrella domain that impacted every aspect of life during the pandemic including access, use, adoption, digital literacy, and digital equity, as well as privacy and security concerns. Given this book's focus on the impacts to marginalized populations, there is a thread throughout the book related to the use of technology to perpetuate hate, discrimination, racism, and xenophobic behaviors that emerged as a twin pandemic during COVID-19. Part I explains the defining differences between primary and secondary impacts, as well as the unique guidelines adopted in each state. Part II of the book is focused on specific domains, where each chapter is dedicated to topics including economic stability through employment, education, healthcare, and the social/community context through access to services. Part III focuses on unique technological considerations related to COVID-19, such as mobile health-related apps and privacy or security issues that may have posed barriers to the adoption and use of technology. Finally, the book ends with a conclusion chapter, which explicitly explains the advantages and disadvantages of technology adoption during COVID-19. These exposed benefits and challenges will have implications for policies, disaster management practices, and interdisciplinary research.

本書專注於美國,總結了因科技使用增加而導致的 COVID-19 的次級影響。建立了全球對社交距離的反應、非必要業務的禁令以及居家工作,本書重點關注各州和地方層面提供的不同指導。邊緣化群體被突顯出來,以識別科技促進接觸和覆蓋的領域,或因數位素養或數位接入問題而導致的困難。為了解釋人們如何因對科技的新且獨特的依賴而獲得賦權或被拋在一旁,本書的結構基於健康的社會決定因素領域。具體而言,本書解釋了科技如何成為一個影響疫情期間生活各個方面的總體領域,包括接入、使用、採用、數位素養和數位公平,以及隱私和安全問題。鑒於本書專注於對邊緣化群體的影響,書中貫穿著一個主題,即科技的使用如何助長仇恨、歧視、種族主義和外來恐懼行為,這些行為在 COVID-19 期間成為雙重疫情。第一部分解釋了主要影響和次級影響之間的定義差異,以及各州採用的獨特指導方針。第二部分專注於特定領域,每章專門討論包括通過就業實現經濟穩定、教育、醫療保健以及通過服務接入的社會/社區背景等主題。第三部分關注與 COVID-19 相關的獨特技術考量,例如移動健康相關應用程序以及可能對科技的採用和使用構成障礙的隱私或安全問題。最後,本書以結論章結束,明確解釋了在 COVID-19 期間科技採用的優勢和劣勢。這些暴露出的好處和挑戰將對政策、災害管理實踐和跨學科研究產生影響。
