Topic: Risk, prevention and care in population studies
This study explored the ways in which food desert coverage was reported during the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of the research was to analyze reporting patterns such as themes, use of race, and sourcing practices to understand the journalistic nature of food desert reporting. The analysis found emerging themes that were present in the reporting and journalistic devices that were used to develop the themes. There was a total of 85 articles analyzed from various publications around the United States. This thesis aimed to identify the ways in which food deserts in the United States are covered being that millions of Americans live in these designated areas. The results show that themes centered on financial context, agriculture, community, and vulnerability were present throughout the analysis.

Key findings
- The results show that themes centered on financial context, agriculture, community, and vulnerability were present throughout the analysis.
Why it matters
This analysis examines how food desert coverage was reported during COVID-19, not Alzheimer's disease, so it provides no information on treating, curing or preventing Alzheimer's. It identified themes of financial context, agriculture, community and vulnerability.

How this study scored 33/100
Published in a peer-reviewed journal. Scored zero for study design, effect reported and randomised / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on how recent, journal's citation record, citations per year, impact for its field and year, senior author's track record and institution's track record, so those were left out: it earned 24 of the 73 points we could judge it on, which is 33 out of 100.
