There is increasing recognition of the vital importance of social drivers of health (SDoH) in order to better understand and improve health and healthcare. However, assessment of SDoH at the individual-level has been inconsistent, data are not standardized, and social-environmental data linked to the places patients live are rarely integrated with their clinical data to support clinical decision-making or research. In this panel, collaborators from the National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C) will present examples from their work within N3C as well as from their academic institutions to provide real-world examples of ongoing work that seeks to improve collection, interoperability, analysis, visualization, and community engagement for SDoH research in big data.
