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”.

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)
