Thematik

Spatial epidemiology is the description and analysis of geographic variations in disease with respect to demographic, environmental, behavioral, socioeconomic, genetic, and infectious risk factors. This approach includes small-area analyses, encompassing disease mapping, geographic correlation studies, disease clusters, and clustering. The purpose of this course is to provide an overview of some spatial distribution-related environmental and social factors which impact the human health. During the practices, statistical concepts and methodologies will be illustrated through real examples. Beyond that, we interpret how the results of this kind of studies can be used for health protection purposes.
