Overview
The course introduces important concepts, methods, and applications in spatial epidemiology. It focuses on understanding how health outcomes, exposures, and determinants can vary across geographic areas, as well as on applying appropriate analytical methods to spatially structured data. A fundamental part of the course is working with spatial data, including spatial data structures, coordinate systems, and methods for describing and visualizing spatial patterns in health-related variables. The course also covers exploratory spatial data analysis, including methods for assessing clustering and spatial autocorrelation. The course introduces concepts related to spatial smoothing and mapping of diseases at the area level, with an emphasis on methods used to stabilize frequencies and support interpretation in small-area epidemiology. In addition, the course discusses methods that account for spatial dependence and/or heterogeneity, illustrated with examples relevant to epidemiology and public health.
