Description: This article explores how Black adults living with both heart failure and diabetes made decisions about managing their chronic conditions and protecting themselves from COVID-19 during the pandemic. Using a mixed methods approach, the study centers participants’ lived experiences to examine how access to care, trust in information sources, perceptions of risk, and communication with healthcare systems shaped prevention and mitigation choices during a period of major healthcare disruption.
