While precision medicine has made advances in individualized patient treatments, progress at the population level requires a public health approach (termed “precision population health”) focused on tailored population health and prevention strategies and driven by “big data” approaches. Inclusion of diverse populations and a focus on disparities reduction are key components within a precision population health framework. Specific recommendations from the All of Us Research Program and the Precision Public Health Summit provide examples for addressing health disparities.
Dr. Bibbins-Domingo’s work focuses on racial, ethnic and income differences in manifestations of chronic disease; the intersection of biological, behavioral and environmental factors that influence risk; and effective clinical, public health and policy interventions aimed at prevention. Dr. Bibbins-Domingo was a member of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force from 2010-2017 and led the Task Force as the vice-chair and chair from 2014-2017. She is an inducted member of the American Society for Clinical Investigation, the Association of American Physicians, and the National Academy of Medicine.
