Calculate the race of each person

get_person_race.Rd

A helper function primarily used by table_one() to calculate the race of each person.

Usage

get_person_race(ds)

Arguments

ds

A PicnicHealth data set list object.

Value

A data frame, one row per person, with a column for person_id and race, i.e. the person's race.

Details

Beyond its use in table_one(), this function may be useful to add an additional column to an existing analytic data.frame that already contains person_id using dplyr::left_join() to include race. See examples.
