Researchers found that 6.4% of adults experienced long COVID, with rates varying from 1.9% in the Virgin Islands to 10.6% in West Virginia. The study utilized data from the 2022 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System survey and found variations in prevalence across different regions of the country. The study highlights the need for continued monitoring of long COVID at the state and territory levels to inform healthcare planning and policy decisions. It also emphasizes the importance of addressing the healthcare needs of individuals with long COVID and identifying geographic disparities for targeted interventions.
