A research project funded by the National Eye Institute to study how social determinants affect diabetic retinopathy care and to develop interventions to prevent vision loss.
Description
This project investigates the social determinants of health (SDoH) that impact diabetic retinopathy (DR) care using novel data science approaches. It aims to develop interventions to prevent vision loss from DR by addressing barriers in SDoH that lead to lapses in care, which are major preventable risk factors for poor visual outcomes.
