This award funds research to create a social determinants of health index tailored to transplant access, addressing gaps in current measures and aiming to inform equitable transplant policies.
Description
The project aims to develop a social determinants of health index specifically for transplant access. It addresses a significant gap in current measures used for transplant policy and allocation. The research involves analyzing various measures from sources like the American Communities Survey and existing indices such as the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI). The outcome will inform future policies to make transplant access more equitable.
