A Review of Spatial Methods in Epidemiology, 2000–2010

Abstract: Understanding the impact of place on health is a key element of epidemiologic investigation, and numerous tools are being employed for analysis of spatial health-related data. This review documents the huge growth in spatial epidemiology, summarizes the tools that have been employed, and provides in-depth discussion of several methods. Relevant research articles for 2000–2010 from seven epidemiology journals were included if the study utilized a spatial analysis method in primary analysis (n = 207). Results su… Show more

“…It allowed the visualisation of both data and results based on such information. GIS usage has become popular in research since the 1990s giving more emphasis to place in epidemiological studies (Auchincloss et al, 2012). Nowadays, we can realise that GIS has a great potential in public health and epidemiology for decision making and research (Clarke et al, 1996).…”

“…Currently, it is necessary to use new vector control techniques at all stages in order to ensure the efficiency of the methods, while minimizing undesirable effects on the environment and public health. Spatial analysis has gained an important role in epidemiology in the last two decades [14]; therefore this study analysed the effect of water pH on the development of larvae of Aedes aegypti, Anopheles albimanus and Culex mosquitoes to identify its importance as an external factor in larval growth.…”
