GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SCIENCE: SPATIAL ANALYSIS FOR HEALTH GEOGRAPHY

Catalog description

Spatial analysis is used to verify patterns and associations in health data maps. These results can then be used to further hone the scientific question, or help design an intervention strategy. Course introduces students to spatial analytical approaches used by health researchers and practitioners in the exploratory investigation of health data. Students are exposed to new mobile technologies that can be used to enrich more traditional spatial data sources.
