BEST PRACTICES AND 'HOW TO' DOCUMENTS

  • Space-Time Disease Surveillance

    These pages provide a review of case studies using freely available space-time disease surveillance software.

  • Mapping Health Data

    These web pages have been designed by Population Data BC to provide an overview of analytical issues related to point, line and area-based data, as well as recommendations for best practices when mapping health data.

  • Admin Data 101

    An excellent resource (in a free online workshop format) that provides an overview of the access policy/application process at Population Data BC. Admin Data 101 also explains the basics of what administrative data are, where they come from, how they can be used for research, what the data produced for a research project actually look like and what skills are needed to work with them.
