Delay or avoidance of medical care because of COVID-19–related concerns—United States, June 2020.
Open accessAbstract
versus those without disabilities (aPR = 1.3). Given this widespread reporting of medical care avoidance because of COVID-19 concerns, especially among persons at increased risk for severe COVID-19, urgent efforts are warranted to ensure delivery of services that, if deferred, could result in patient harm. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, persons experiencing a medical emergency should seek and be provided care without delay (3).

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
In a nationwide web-based survey conducted June 24–30, 2020, 40.9% of U.S. adults reported delaying or avoiding medical care because of COVID-19 concerns, including 12.0% for urgent or emergency care and 31.5% for routine care. Avoidance was higher among unpaid caregivers for adults, persons with multiple underlying medical conditions, Black and Hispanic adults, young adults, and persons with disabilities.
Key findings
- Overall, 40.9% of 4,975 respondents reported delaying or avoiding any medical care because of COVID-19 concerns; 12.0% avoided urgent or emergency care and 31.5% avoided routine care.
- Adjusted prevalence ratios for urgent or emergency care avoidance were significantly higher among unpaid caregivers for adults versus noncaregivers (aPR = 2.9), persons with two or more selected underlying medical conditions versus none (aPR = 1.9), insured versus uninsured persons (aPR = 1.8), non-Hispanic Black adults (aPR = 1.6) and Hispanic adults (aPR = 1.5) versus non-Hispanic White adults, adults aged 18–24 versus 25–44 years (aPR = 1.5), and persons with disabilities versus without (aPR = 1.3).
- Groups with urgent or emergency care avoidance exceeding 20% and any care avoidance exceeding 50% included adults aged 18–24 years (30.9%; 57.2%), unpaid caregivers for adults (29.8%; 64.3%), Hispanic adults (24.6%; 55.5%), persons with disabilities (22.8%; 60.3%), persons with two or more selected underlying medical conditions (22.7%; 54.7%), and students (22.7%; 50.3%).
- In adjusted models for any care avoidance, unpaid caregiver status (aPR = 1.64), having health insurance (aPR = 1.61), disability (aPR = 1.33), believing oneself to be at high risk for severe COVID-19 (aPR = 1.33), and having two or more underlying conditions (aPR = 1.31) were significantly associated with greater avoidance.
Methods
- A web-based survey was administered by Qualtrics, LLC, during June 24–30, 2020, to a nationwide sample of U.S. adults aged ≥18 years; 5,412 (54.7%) of 9,896 eligible adults completed surveys, and 4,975 (91.9%) provided complete data for this analysis.
- Quota sampling and survey weighting were used to improve representativeness of the U.S. population by gender, age, and race/ethnicity.
- Delay or avoidance was assessed for emergency, urgent, and routine medical care; urgent and emergency responses were combined for analysis. Multivariable Poisson regression models with robust standard errors estimated adjusted prevalence ratios, 95% CIs, and p-values (α = 0.05).
Limitations
- Stated in the paper: self-reported data are subject to recall, response, and social desirability biases; the survey did not assess reasons for avoidance, baseline care-seeking patterns, or timing/duration of avoidance; perceptions of whether a condition was life-threatening might vary; and the web-based survey might not be fully representative for income, educational attainment, and access to technology.
- Evident from the text: the cross-sectional design cannot establish temporality or causality between COVID-19 concerns and care delay/avoidance.
- Evident from the text: urgent and emergency care responses were combined because respondents might interpret “life-threatening” differently, limiting separate estimates for emergency versus urgent care.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-08, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-08 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
