Abstract

The study addresses the social determinants influencing self-reporting of symptoms, access to
testing and diagnosis of COVID-19 in Bolivia. The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected
vulnerable groups, highlighting the importance of social determinants of health (SDH). In Bolivia, little research
exists on how factors such as income level, education, or area of residence affect the spread and diagnosis of
COVID-19
