LDW 2026 Keynote: "Innovative Data for Assessing Social Determinants of Health for You to Love"

Dr. Lorraine Dean, Associate Professor in Epidemiology, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Abstract: Data on social determinants of health have been notoriously challenging to measure, and we are often relegated to secondary data to assess them. Using examples from the extant research literature and from the presenter’s own research studies and others, this presentation will showcase how data from unexpected sources can be used for population health surveillance and example. With an emphasis on socioeconomic position as a social determinant of health, we will discuss how everyday data outside of the health field, such as credit scores, public data sources, and even virtual reality, can be used in health studies.
