Introduction to GIS in Epidemiology

With information society, creation, distribution, integration and manipulation of information has become a significant economic, political, and cultural activity. It’s a known fact that information is processed from facts and figures; we also agree that if data is not well managed it can be overwhelming. Giving a spatial dimension to data and performing spatial analysis in a GIS environment speeds interpretation visualization which eventually speeds up implementation of epidemiology programs.

Place is one of the basic tenets of a field investigation. Both the who and the when of disease are relative to and often dependent on the where. Geographic information science, systems, software (collectively known as GIS) and methods are one of the tools epidemiologists use in defining and evaluating the where. This course will review GIS applications as they pertain to public health and epidemiology.

GIS can aid in planning disease surveillance activities and reduce costs associated with clinical and public health interventions by predicting outcomes before financial commitments are made. GIS can also aid in prioritizing the allocation of resources.
