| Helene M. Langevin, M.D. April 19, 2022 How does one study, and quantify, whole person health? The potential benefits of answering this question are enormous. Understanding the complex, interconnected factors that impact our health across multiple domains, including the biological, behavioral, social, and environmental domains, will transform our approach to human health but will require an evidence-driven shift from the predominant cause-and-effect biomedical model, which studies one factor at a time. Thats why determining how we address these key research questions is so important and why Im excited to see our new request for information (RFI) published, Identification of a Set of Determinants for Whole Person Health. The RFI seeks input to delineate a set of common data elements that will guide this area of research. |
