New Data for Disability and Health Equity!
The disability population has often been excluded from biomedical research. The All of Us Research Program aims to change that by recruiting one million or more participants from underrepresented populations, like the disability population, to enroll as part of a longitudinal, observational cohort to improve health equity and advance personalized medicine. The Disability Community Engagement Partner Project at the American Association on Health and Disability is inviting researchers to a demonstration webinar on the All of Us Research Hub and Workbench with an emphasis on disability on November 8th, 2023, at 12:00 PST/3:00 EST. If you are interested in attending the demonstration webinar sign up here!
The All of Us data is available to researchers and includes multiple surveys on a variety of health topics including health care access and utilization, social determinants of health, lifestyle, etc. with demographic information containing the American Community Survey disability identifiers. The All of Us data also includes electronic health records, genomic whole genome sequences, genomic arrays, physical measurements, and mobile health data.
Sign up for the demonstration webinar here. ASL and CART will be provided, and reasonable accommodations are available upon request.
