How do disparities in healthcare access affect ML models? 💰📉🧐 We found that low access to care -> worse EHR data quality -> worse ML performance in a dataset of 134k patients. Work with Anna Zink (on the faculty job market rn!) + Hongzhou Luan, presented at #ML4H2024

Writing is a lot like weight training. You won't be able to lift a lot at first. You start small. Short session, light weights. Day by day though you get just a *little* stronger. Eventually your sessions get longer, the bars get heavier, and everyone says "I could never do that." Just like you did.

So *many* concerns here, but I don't understand why would a qualitative researcher even want this? Why not use a survey instead?The whole point of qualitative interviews is that we co-produce knowledge with our interlocutors through participation in the research process.
