Objective: We aim to develop an open-source natural language processing (NLP) package, SODA (i. e., SOcial DeterminAnts), with pre-trained transformer models to extract social determinants of health (SDoH) for cancer patients, examine the generalizability of SODA to a new disease domain (i. e., opioid use), and evaluate the extraction rate of SDoH using cancer populations.
