Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE

Social and Environmental Determinants of Health (SEDoH) are of increasing interest to researchers in personal and public health. Collecting SEDoH and associating them with patient medical record can be challenging, especially for environmental variables. We announce here the release of SEnDAE, the Social and Environmental Determinants Address Enhancement toolkit, and open-source resource for ingesting a range of environmental variables and measurements from a variety of sources and associated them with arbitrary addresses.

METHODS

SEnDAE includes optional components for geocoding addresses, in case an organization does not have independent capabilities in that area, and recipes for extending the OMOP CDM and the ontology of an i2b2 instance to display and compute over the SEnDAE variables within i2b2.

RESULTS

On a set of 5000 synthetic addresses, SEnDAE was able to geocode 83%. SEnDAE geocodes addresses to the same Census tract as ESRI 98.1% of the time.

CONCLUSION

Development of SEnDAE is ongoing, but we hope that teams will find it useful to increase their usage of environmental variables and increase the field's general understanding of these important determinants of health.

摘要

背景与目的

社会和环境健康决定因素（SEDoH）越来越受到个人和公共卫生研究人员的关注。收集 SEDoH 并将其与患者病历相关联可能具有挑战性，特别是对于环境变量而言。在这里，我们宣布发布 SEnDAE，这是一个社会和环境决定因素地址增强工具包，是一个开源资源，用于从各种来源摄取各种环境变量和测量值，并将它们与任意地址相关联。
