Limitations and Caveats

This work occurred in the COVID-19 pandemic ina front-line clinical setting (Emergency Department in an socio-economically under-resourced community). COVID-related shutdowns of in-person research, COVID protocols (e.g., inability to approach participants in droplet precautions), and staffing retention (e.g., abiltiy to employ individuals who would work in a COVID frontline setting) impeded recruitment of the originally planned sample size, with impacts also on retention.
