Through a series of innovative research studies, the Center for Knowledge Management (CKM) has evaluated how best to collect information about the non-medical factors that affect health. CKM conducted the first-known evaluation of the National Academy of Medicine (NAM) questionnaire on the topic.

CKM also actively stays abreast of ongoing research, projects, and initiatives addressing non-medical factors affecting health, thus supporting the medical center's mission to provide personalized health care.

This research was supported in part by the VUMC McKesson Chair Fund and the Vanderbilt Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (#VR23877).
