| Challenge: | Social determinants of health (SDoH) are often studied in the electronic health record (EHR) however, there are difficulties in documenting SDoH in a tabular format due to the lack of a comprehensive SDoh tool. |
| Approach: | They propose to annotate social history sections from 1,260 clinical notes from pediatric patients within the University of Washington (UW) hospital system. |
| Outcome: | The proposed corpus captures ten distinct health determinants including living and economic stability, prior trauma, education access, substance use history, and mental health with an overall annotator agreement of 81.9 F1. |
