Evaluating the usability of an interactive, bi-lingual, touchscreen-enabled breastfeeding educational programme: application of Nielson's heuristics.

Journal of innovation in health informatics
The study purpose was to conduct heuristic evaluation of an interactive, bilingual touchscreen-enabled breastfeeding educational programme for Hispanic women living in rural settings in Nebraska. Three raters conducted the evaluation during May 2013 ...

Improving accuracy in the estimation of probable dementia in racially and ethnically diverse groups with penalized regression and transfer learning.

American journal of epidemiology
Algorithmic estimations of dementia status are widely used in public health and epidemiologic research, but inadequate algorithm performance across racial/ethnic groups has been a barrier. We present improvements in the accuracy of group-specific "pr...

Using Natural Language Processing on Expert Panel Discussions to Gain Insights for Recruitment, Retention and Intervention Adherence for Online Social Support Interventions on a Stage II-III Clinical Trial Among Hispanic and African American Dementia Caregivers.

Studies in health technology and informatics
We applied natural language processing (NLP) to a corpus extracted from 4 hours of expert panel discussion transcripts to determine the sustainability of a Stage II-III clinical trial of online social support interventions for Hispanic and African Am...

Estimation of racial and language disparities in pediatric emergency department triage using statistical modeling and natural language processing.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVES: The study aims to assess racial and language disparities in pediatric emergency department (ED) triage using analytical techniques and provide insights into the extent and nature of the disparities in the ED setting.

Underserved populations with missing race ethnicity data differ significantly from those with structured race/ethnicity documentation.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to address deficiencies in structured electronic health record (EHR) data for race and ethnicity by identifying black and Hispanic patients from unstructured clinical notes and assessing differences between patients with or withou...
