The only requirement for registration was the prior completion of an introductory statistics or programming course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the mentorship of faculty, staff, and doctoral students at the School of Public Health, participants used the statistical programming language R to analyze data from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/yrbs\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Youth Risk Behavioral Surveillance System (YRBSS)<\/a>, a set of national surveys that track the health behaviors of U.S. high school students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"666\" src=\"\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/online-health-hackathon-1024x666.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshot of students delivering a presentation via Zoom.\" class=\"wp-image-262569\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/online-health-hackathon-1024x666.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/online-health-hackathon-636x413.jpg 636w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/online-health-hackathon-768x499.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/online-health-hackathon-755x491.jpg 755w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/online-health-hackathon-900x585.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/online-health-hackathon-1200x780.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/online-health-hackathon.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>A group of students delivers a presentation on their work during the hackathon to the judges.

The day concluded with presentations and feedback from a panel of judges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPublic health is an interdisciplinary field, so we got this idea that we could drive interest in a public health career among people in adjacent, data-focused fields who may not have considered it before,\u201d says Goldmann of the motivation behind hosting the hackathon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe love epidemiology, and we think lots of other people would as well, if only they knew about it,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/profile\/maria-glymour\/\">Maria Glymour<\/a>, chair and professor of epidemiology, who served as a mentor during event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the previous two hackathons were held in-person on the Charles River Campus and restricted to undergraduates, Goldmann and Glymour transitioned to the online format to open participation to larger and more diverse pool of interested students. Then, in forming the groups, they purposefully mixed undergraduates and graduates, so participants could learn from one another\u2019s different skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignwide columns-3 is-cropped\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/oct-2025-hackathon-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"A group of students at the hackathon for health equity, October 2025.\" data-id=\"262570\" data-full-url=\"\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/oct-2025-hackathon-1.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/oct-2025-hackathon-1\/\" class=\"wp-image-262570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/oct-2025-hackathon-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/oct-2025-hackathon-1-636x477.jpg 636w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/oct-2025-hackathon-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/oct-2025-hackathon-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/oct-2025-hackathon-1-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/oct-2025-hackathon-1-755x566.jpg 755w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/oct-2025-hackathon-1-1333x1000.jpg 1333w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/oct-2025-hackathon-1-1600x1200.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/oct-2025-hackathon-1-900x675.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/oct-2025-hackathon-1-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/oct-2025-hackathon-1-1200x900.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/oct-2025-hackathon-2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"A group of students at the hackathon for health equity, October 2025.\" data-id=\"262571\" data-full-url=\"\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/oct-2025-hackathon-2.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/oct-2025-hackathon-2\/\" class=\"wp-image-262571\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/oct-2025-hackathon-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/oct-2025-hackathon-2-636x477.jpg 636w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/oct-2025-hackathon-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/oct-2025-hackathon-2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/oct-2025-hackathon-2-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/oct-2025-hackathon-2-755x566.jpg 755w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/oct-2025-hackathon-2-1333x1000.jpg 1333w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/oct-2025-hackathon-2-1600x1200.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/oct-2025-hackathon-2-900x675.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/oct-2025-hackathon-2-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/oct-2025-hackathon-2-1200x900.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/oct-2025-hackathon-3-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"A group of students at the hackathon for health equity, October 2025.\" data-id=\"262572\" data-full-url=\"\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/oct-2025-hackathon-3.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/oct-2025-hackathon-3\/\" class=\"wp-image-262572\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/oct-2025-hackathon-3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/oct-2025-hackathon-3-636x477.jpg 636w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/oct-2025-hackathon-3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/oct-2025-hackathon-3-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/oct-2025-hackathon-3-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/oct-2025-hackathon-3-755x566.jpg 755w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/oct-2025-hackathon-3-1333x1000.jpg 1333w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/oct-2025-hackathon-3-1600x1200.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/oct-2025-hackathon-3-900x675.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/oct-2025-hackathon-3-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/oct-2025-hackathon-3-1200x900.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption\">Undergraduate students who participated in the October 2025 hackathon pose with their groups in front of their presentations at the BU&#8217;s Duan Family Center for Computing &amp; Data Sciences.

I think people really benefited from having some folks from MPH and PhDs programs in their group to think about potential biases. One group even used a machine learning model to validate the output of the standard statistical model we encouraged folks to use. I wasn&#8217;t expecting that at all, and it was absolutely welcome.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Goldmann was also pleased to see that many of the groups employed <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC8821727\/\" target=\"_blank\">directed acyclical graphs<\/a> (DAGs) to map causal relationships between their variables. The DAGs demonstrated to her that the students were carefully thinking through their analysis step-by-step and considering how confounding factors and other sources of bias may have influenced their health outcome of interest, she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/DAG.jpg\" alt=\"A DAG from the 2026 Hackathon for Health Equity\" class=\"wp-image-262601\" width=\"497\" height=\"388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/DAG.jpg 884w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/DAG-636x496.jpg 636w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/DAG-768x599.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sph\/files\/2026\/03\/DAG-755x589.jpg 755w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 497px) 100vw, 497px\" \/><figcaption>The DAG of the winning student group, who looked at the association between social connectedness at school (bottom left corner) and suicidal ideation (bottom right corner).
