Evaluate popular explanation methods using heatmap visualizations to explain the predictions of deep neural networks for electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis and provide recommendations for selection of explanations methods.

Cancer diagnosis comes as a shock to many patients, and many of them feel unprepared to handle the complexity of the life-changing event, understand technicalities of the diagnostic reports, and fully engage with the clinical team regarding the personalized clinical decision-making.

To understand how health-related social needs (HRSN) data are collected at US hospitals and implications for use.

We aim to use large language models (LLMs) to detect mentions of nuanced psychotherapeutic outcomes and impacts than previously considered in transcripts of interviews with adolescent depression. Our clinical authors previously created a novel coding framework containing fine-grained therapy outcomes beyond the binary classification (eg, depression vs control) based on qualitative analysis embedded within a clinical study of depression. Moreover, we seek to demonstrate that embeddings from LLMs are informative [...]

Educational offerings to fill the bioinformatics knowledge gap are a key component to enhancing access and use of health data from the All of Us Research Program. We developed a Train the Trainer-based, innovative training series including project-based learning, modular on-demand demonstrations, and unstructured tutorial time as a model for educational engagement in the All of Us community.

Integration of social determinants of health into health outcomes research will allow researchers to study health inequities. The All of Us Research Program has the potential to be a rich source of social determinants of health data. However, user-friendly recommendations for scoring and interpreting the All of Us Social Determinants of Health Survey are needed to return value to communities through advancing researcher competencies in use of the All of [...]

Scales often arise from multi-item questionnaires, yet commonly face item non-response. Traditional solutions use weighted mean (WMean) from available responses, but potentially overlook missing data intricacies. Advanced methods like multiple imputation (MI) address broader missing data, but demand increased computational resources. Researchers frequently use survey data in the All of Us Research Program (All of Us), and it is imperative to determine if the increased computational burden of employing MI [...]

Identifying sources of sex-based disparities is the first step in improving clinical outcomes for female patients. Using All of Us data, we examined the association of biological sex with cost-related medication adherence (CRMA) issues in patients with cardiovascular comorbidities.

To understand how frailty and healthcare delays differentially mediate the association between sexual and gender minority older adults (OSGM) status and healthcare utilization.
