Dr. Sara Cromer and Dr. David Conti will review the commonly used population descriptors, polygenic scores, and social determinants of health measures, identifying the nuances in measurement and interpretation. They will then turn to analytic and ethical considerations for modeling polygenic risk and SDoH jointly across diverse populations.

  • Define and explore the complexity of commonly used population descriptors, polygenic scores, and social determinants of health
  • Identify important considerations and best practices in modeling polygenic risk and social determinants jointly
