The authors stress the need of U.S.-based public health researchers to ask questions about partisanship as part of their demographic data collection. Topics discussed include definition of partisanship, partisan determinants of health, and recommendation for public health researchers designing their own survey-based studies and agencies fielding national or state-level surveys to consider including partisanship in their research.
