Abstract

In this study we examined the correlation of COVID-19 positivity with area deprivation index (ADI), social determinants of health (SDOH) factors based on a consumer and electronic medical record (EMR) data and population density in a patient population from a tertiary healthcare system in Arkansas. COVID-19 positivity was significantly associated with population density, age, race, and household size. Understanding health disparities and SDOH data can add value to health and the creation of trustable AI.
