MeSH Population Groups (Type 5 SCR)

Working with partners across NIH, led by NIMHD and the NLM OBSSR-Behavioral Ontology Working Group, MeSH on November 29, 2022 added Federally recognized American Indian and Alaskan Native (AI/AN) tribal names and ethnic/ethnolinguistic minority terms as newly created type 5 SCR designated as “Population Groups”. These minority names (1,700+ terms) were mapped and reviewed by subject matter experts and scientists within NIH and from outside including Network of the National Library of Medicine members.

Structure: All type 5 SCRs have common fields
1. CC=5 Population Group
2. ST=T098 Population Groups
3. HM= At least one HM is to an MH under Population Groups [M01.686]
4. TH= NIMHD(2023)

于2022年11月29日，由美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）下属的国家少数民族健康研究所（NIMHD）与国家医学图书馆行为学词汇研究组联合领导的合作伙伴团队，将联邦认可的印第安人及阿拉斯加原住民（AI/AN）部落名称及族群/族群语言少数群体术语纳入新创建的第五类系统化分类表（SCR），并指定为“人口群体”。这些少数群体名称（1,700余项）已由NIH内部及外部包括国家医学图书馆网络成员的领域专家和科学家进行映射和审核。结构方面，所有第五类SCR均包含通用字段：1. CC=5 人口群体；2. ST=T098 人口群体；3. HM=至少一个HM指向人口群体下的MH [M01.686]；4. TH=NIMHD(2023)。
