Biostatistics Dept Seminar: Data Disaggregation in Health Equity Studies: Past, Present, and Future

Biostatistics Department Seminar 

Title: Data Disaggregation in Health Equity Studies: Past, Present, and Future

Abstract: There have been numerous calls in the medical, public health and health policy fields for “data disaggregation” (i.e., breaking out data by more granular key characteristics) when studying minority populations, including Latinos, in order to better understand health and healthcare inequity. The broad racial and ethnic categories whose capture is currently required by the Office of Management and Budget for all federally collected data can mask significant variation within race and ethnicity categories, limiting the ability to target resources where they are needed most.

This presentation will discuss, from a statistician’s point of view, opportunities and challenges for data disaggregation of race and ethnicity data with a case study in Latino populations using electronic health records.

Speakers

Miguel Marino is a professor of biostatistics at the Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) School of Public Health.
