  abstract = {{T}he {COVID}-19 pandemic highlighted the impact of social inequalities in health ({SIH}). {V}arious studies have shown significant inequalities in mortality and morbidity associated with {COVID}-19 and the influence of social determinants of health. {T}he objective of this qualitative case study was to analyze the consideration of {SIH} in the design of two key {COVID}-19 prevention and control interventions in {F}rance : testing and contact tracing. {I}nterviews were conducted with 36 key informants involved in the design of the intervention and/or the government response to the pandemic as well as relevant documents (n = 15) were reviewed. {W}e applied data triangulation and a hybrid deductive and inductive analysis to analyze the data. {F}indings revealed the divergent understandings and perspectives about {SIH}, as well as the challenges associated with consideration for these at the beginning stages of the pandemic. {D}espite a shared concern for {SIH} between the participants, an epidemiological frame of reference dominated the design of the intervention. {I}t resulted in a model in which consideration for {SIH} appeared as a complement, with a clinical goal of the intervention: breaking the chain of {COVID}-19 transmission. {A}lthough the {COVID}-19 health crisis highlighted the importance of {SIH}, it did not appear to be an opportunity to further their consideration in response efforts. {T}his article provides original insights into consideration for {SIH} in the design of testing and contact-tracing interventions based upon a qualitative investigation.},
