Assistant Professor of Health and Behavioral Sciences Ivan Ramírez recently published, “Geography of Disparity: Connecting COVID-19 Vulnerability and Social Determinants of Health in Colorado”, featured in the Special Issue on COVID-19 and Adverse Social Determinants of Health in Behavioral Medicine. Using an exploratory geospatial approach and syndemic lens, the study investigated spatial patterns of COVID-19 incidence rates and contextual factors across Colorado. The study findings indicate that COVID-19 risk is multivariate, increasing with social and health vulnerabilities that vary locally across Colorado.
Canvas Outage
Canvas access has been restored for our users, but the service reliability remains uncertain. Due to recent events, Canvas has had intermittent outages which are at the discretion of the vendor and may occur during a final exam. Faculty and staff may continue to use Canvas, but we strongly advise faculty and students to prepare a contingency plan for turning in assignments and final exams in the event Canvas access becomes unavailable again.
Instructure, the company that owns Canvas, has provided an FAQ about the incident, which may not answer all your questions. We will share more information if it becomes available.
