520 3 # |a This book is designed to help public health professionals and students answer some of the most fundamental and recurring questions that arise about the collection, analysis and display of geographic health data. It provides clear, straightforward explanations of these issues, accompanied by worldwide examples and solutions. Focusing on proven techniques that have been recognized as sufficient for real-world data sets, this book provides a comprehensible introduction to geographic information systems (GIS) and includes information on GIS applications in disaster response. Methods for assessing geographic access to health services, and mathematical models for disease mapping are also described. The 11 chapters in this book are drawn from the original, cutting-edge research across the globe of 10 different primary authors working in the field of GIS and public health.
