Notice Announcing Availability of Data Harmonization Tools for Social Determinants of Health via the PhenX Toolkit NIMHD and supporting NIH institutes and centers announce a major data-harmonization effort to encourage the minority health and health disparities research community to use new data collection tools emerging from this effort.
The NIMHD is dedicated to advancing science by improving the yield and impact of its research portfolio. One way to accomplish this is to provide investigators with a common set of tools and resources that allow their work to span the diverse areas of the minority health and health disparities. Social determinants of health (SDOH)—the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age—are known to drive health disparities.
Through the use of these SDOH measures and common data elements, minority health and health disparity researchers will be able to share, compare, and integrate data across studies. By advocating the use of these common measures, the NIMHD and its partners in the scientific community aim to further enhance the science of minority health and health disparities while advancing a culture of scientific collaboration.
For inquiries related to NIMHD's scientific and research involvement concerning this notice, please email Dr. Nishadi Rajapakse. View the full notice for more information.
