There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu
*********************************
It is well-known that there exist disparities in health outcomes across minority populations.
Despite this basic fact, there is a surprising lack of research at the intersection of mental health and minority populations to characterize to what extent populations are affected.
This ongoing study utilizes real world data (i.e. patient health claims data) to assess the granular characteristics of minority populations afflicted with depression, bipolar disorder, or suicidality.
In doing so, the study will answer the questions of what populations with these conditions look like (i.e. how they are characterized), how they differ from populations without these diseases, and the characteristics of patients with these conditions who do not seek follow-up to care.
Additional discussion will touch on how this study has been built, potential areas for future work and collaboration, implications for large scale network research at GTRI, and composition of studies.
Facilitated by Jacob Zelko, Research Engineer, Health Data Analytics and Informatics Researcher, Georgia Tech Research Institute
