Social determinants of health (SDoH) are the conditions in which people are born, live, work, and age that affect personal well-being, health outcomes, and life expectancy. 1 SDoH include a range of nonmedical factors, including substance use, quality of domestic life, marital status, employment status, education, race, geography, and other factors that impact health. Understanding patient SDoH can inform patient health care and has the potential to improve health outcomes and reduce health disparities. 2, 3 Patient SDoH information is documented in the electronic health record (EHR) and other health-related databases through structured data and free-text (natural language) documents, including patient notes. For many SDoH, the free-text descriptions capture social and behavioral factors with higher prevalence and more detail than is available through structured data. Utilizing free-text SDoH information in large-scale studies, clinical decision-support systems, and other secondary use applications, requires the automatic extraction of key aspects of the SDoH using natural language processing (NLP). NLP-based information extraction maps the unstructured, free-text descriptions of SDoH to structured semantic representations that can be combined with available structured data to create more complete patient profiles.
