Community-engaged methodologies provide an avenue for mitigating this bias through incorporating causal insights from community stakeholders into ML development. In health applications, community-engaged approaches can enable the study of social drivers of health (SDOH), which are known to shape health inequities. However, it remains challenging for SDOH to inform ML algorithms, partially because SDOH variables are known to be interrelated, yet it is difficult to elucidate the causal relationships between them. Community-based system dynamics is a community-engaged methodology that can be used to cocreate formal causal graphs, called causal loop diagrams, with patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We used community-based system dynamics to create a causal graph representing the impacts of SDOH on the progression of chronic kidney disease, a chronic condition with SDOH-driven health disparities. We conducted focus groups with 42 participants and a day-long model building workshop with 11 participants.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
