Social determinants of health derived from people with opioid use disorder: Improving data collection, integration and use with cross-domain collaboration and reproducible, data-centric, notebook-style workflows.

Deriving social determinants of health from underserved populations is an important step in the process of improving the well-being of these populations and in driving policy improvements to facilitate positive change in health outcomes. Collection, integration, and effective use of clinical data for this purpose presents a variety of specific challenges. We assert that combining expertise from three distinct domains, specifically, medical, statistical, and computer and data science can be applied along with provenance-aware, self-documenting workflow tools. This combination permits data integration and facilitates the creation of reproducible workflows and usable (reproducible) results from the sensitive and disparate sources of clinical data that exist for underserved populations.
