Getting Started with All of Us: A Two-Part Training for Social and Behavioral Researchers
Presented by Stephanie Cook, DrPH, New York University
Stephanie H. Cook is an Associate Professor in the Departments of Social and Behavioral Sciences and Biostatistics at the NYU School of Global Public Health and a New York University James Weldon Johnson Professor. She directs the Attachment and Health Disparities Research Lab. Her methodological work develops and applies intensive longitudinal designs for estimating how dynamic features of minority stress relate to changes in health behaviors and preclinical cardiovascular risk among racial, ethnic, and sexual minority young adults. A parallel line of work addresses the statistical problem of detecting heterogeneity across intersectional social positions, combining individual-level and structural-level measurement to make embedded processes visible in quantitative data. She is the Principal Investigator of an NHLBI R01 developing a geographically explicit ecological momentary assessment protocol to link intersectional discrimination to cardiovascular risk among sexual and gender minority adults. She writes on quantitative intersectionality for the American Statistical Association’s Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Outreach Group and serves on the ASA Wearable Data Working Group. She is the inaugural Patricia Hill Collins Fellow of the Intersectionality Training Institute.
Dr. Cook is committed to training the next generation of scientists. She has trained and supervised more than 40 undergraduate, MS, MPH, PhD, and postdoctoral trainees over the past ten years. As Director of the NIH All of Us Pathway Development Initiative, she leads a team of faculty who train and support pre-doctoral students and early-career faculty in R programming, large-scale data analysis, and the dissemination of findings using All of Us data. She also directs the NYU-wide United States Census Bureau Research Collaborative, working with a consortium of 15 universities to build programming that uses Census data. These efforts reflect her aim to develop social health researchers whose analytic skills travel across contexts and into community-based organizations, shortening the path to effective prevention.
Dr. Cook has received numerous awards for her research, service, and mentoring, including the Matilda White Riley Distinguished Early-Stage Investigator Award from the National Institutes of Health and the AmStat News Data for Good Challenge in Human Rights Award. She is also a recipient of the New York University Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Faculty Award.
The All of Us Research Program offers one of the largest and most diverse health datasets available to researchers. This two-part series will introduce the program and give participants hands-on experience using the Researcher Workbench.
