Growing public awareness of environmental hazards has increased the demand for investigations into the geographical distribution of disease and as data resulting from studies is not always straightforward to interpret, there has been a need for an accessible, clearly written introduction to the subject. This book supplies the reader with an array of tools and skills so that maps may be produced and correctly interpreted, and also describes the role of disease mapping within epidemiology, highlighting its important role in studies of environmental health and environmental epidemiology. It provides:* An introduction to new developments in disease mapping* Comprehensive coverage of an active area of research and development* Numerous case studies to highlight the application of the techniques discussedThis text will be invaluable to anyone with an interest in disease mapping, and is an essential volume for both the specialist and the non-specialist. It is of particular relevance to epidemiologists, medical statisticians, geographers, and public health advisors, as well as environmental health workers, occupational health physicians, and infectious disease specialists. 606 $aGeography 606 $aInvestigative Techniques 606 $aStatistics as Topic 606 $aPublic Health 606 $aEnvironment and Public Health 606 $aEarth Sciences 606 $aHealth Care Evaluation Mechanisms 606 $aHealth Care 606 $aQuality of Health Care 606 $aNatural Science Disciplines 606 $aHealth Care Quality, Access, and Evaluation 606 $aCluster Analysis 606 $aEpidemiologic Methods 606 $aTopography, Medical 606 $aPublic Health$2HILCC 606 $aHealth & Biological Sciences$2HILCC 606 $aMedical Geography$2HILCC 608 $aElectronic books. 615 2$aGeography 615 2$aInvestigative Techniques 615 2$aStatistics as Topic 615 2$aPublic Health 615 2$aEnvironment and Public Health 615 2$aEarth Sciences 615 2$aHealth Care Evaluation Mechanisms 615 2$aHealth Care 615 2$aQuality of Health Care 615 2$aNatural Science Disciplines 615 2$aHealth Care Quality, Access, and Evaluation 615 2$aCluster Analysis 615 2$aEpidemiologic Methods 615 2$aTopography, Medical 615 7$aPublic Health 615 7$aHealth & Biological Sciences 615 7$aMedical Geography 676 $a614.42 700 $aLawson$b Andrew$0149118 702 $aWilliams$b Fiona 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910134841603321 996 $aAn introductory guide to disease mapping$92042571 997 $aUNINA
