Mental Health Disparities
Scientific Questions Being Studied
I am exploring the All of Us data because I want to know the levels of depression and anxiety diagnosis within black communities and how it compares to other races. I also want to know about some of the social determinants of health that mostly impact depression and anxiety rates within and outside black communities in America.
Project Purpose(s)
- Population Health
Scientific Approaches
I plan on building a few separate cohorts and comparing regression models and visualizations with others. I will build cohorts of African Americans with moderate to severe depression or anxiety and compare it with the general population of the United States with the same disorders. I will use the health data from these cohorts to visualize summary statistics and build regression models to quantify the rates of depression and anxiety in the United States.
Anticipated Findings
I anticipate that I would find that a higher rate of depression and anxiety levels within the black community in comparison to most races in America. My findings would shed more light mental health issues that black people face in America and could prompt more motion towards actions that mitigates some of the negative social determinants of health.
