Here, we highlight a largely undiscussed consideration in this debate: varying data quality of input features across race groups. For example, family history of cancer is an essential predictor in cancer risk prediction algorithms but is less reliably documented for Black participants and may therefore be less predictive of cancer outcomes. Using data from the Southern Community Cohort Study, we assessed whether race adjustments could allow risk prediction models to capture varying data quality by race, focusing on colorectal cancer risk prediction. We analyzed 77,836 adults with no history of colorectal cancer at baseline. The predictive value of self-reported family history was greater for White participants than for Black participants. We compared two cancer risk prediction algorithms\u2014a race-blind algorithm which included standard colorectal cancer risk factors but not race, and a race-adjusted algorithm which additionally included race. Relative to the race-blind algorithm, the race-adjusted algorithm improved predictive performance, as measured by goodness of fit in a likelihood ratio test (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    -value: &lt;0.001) and area under the receiving operating characteristic curve among Black participants (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    -value: 0.006). Because the race-blind algorithm underpredicted risk for Black participants, the race-adjusted algorithm increased the fraction of Black participants among the predicted high-risk group, potentially increasing access to screening. More broadly, this study shows that race adjustments may be beneficial when the data quality of key predictors in clinical algorithms differs by race group.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.2402267121","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,13]],"date-time":"2024-08-13T11:32:11Z","timestamp":1723548731000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1073\/pnas.cm10313","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Race adjustments in clinical algorithms can help correct for racial disparities in data quality"],"prefix":"10.1073","volume":"121","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5752-1569","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna","family":"Zink","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Booth School of Business, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL 60637"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ziad","family":"Obermeyer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Health, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94704"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6149-5567","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emma","family":"Pierson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, Cornell Tech, New York, NY 10044"},{"name":"Department of Population Health Sciences, Weill Cornell Medical College, New York, NY 10021"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"341","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMms2004740"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.1516047113"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMms2206281"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamanetworkopen.2023.18495"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"S.
