FREE ONLINE WORKSHOP - SPATIAL EPIDEMIOLOGY

Content expert: Perry Hystad

This workshop provides an introduction to spatial epidemiology, focusing on assessing exposures in a geographical information system (GIS) for use in epidemiological studies.

The workshop covers:

  • Spatial health data and area socio-economic data available in BC.
  • Spatial exposure assessment methods, analytical approaches, and limitations of spatial epidemiology.
  • An introduction to the Rapid Inquiry Facility (RIF), an extension to ESRI ArcGIS. The RIF is used for rapid analysis of routinely collected health and population data and has useful applications for risk analysis and disease mapping.
