This study aimed to develop a cluster-based measure of multiple co-occurring social determinants of health by applying unsupervised machine learning to a population-based cohort, offering a data-driven approach to organize complex social exposures.

Researchers combined machine learning and neighbourhood-level data to identify communities at higher risk of type 2 diabetes, even in places where patient-level data are limited. 

The study found that faith and spirituality support diabetes self-management among older Black adults by enhancing coping, self-care, and social connection, highlighting the value of integrating faith into culturally responsive care.
