Editorial Reviews for GIS and Public Health
|
This clearly written text provides a comprehensive introduction to the use of geographic information systems (GIS) in analyzing and addressing public health problems. The book lays a solid foundation in GIS, guides the reader through basic concepts and methods, and emphasizes practical applications. Described are ways that GIS can be used to map health events, identify disease clusters, investigate environmental health problems, and understand the spread of communicable and vector-borne infectious disease. Also covered are strategies for assessing patterns of health services delivery and assisting community groups in identifying local health issues. Each chapter includes numerous tables, figures, and concrete examples, as well as useful references and Internet resources. Complementing the text, for a limited time, is a special website featuring sample GIS databases that users can download for hands-on practice with a variety of spatial analytical techniques.

Summary: Great text / reference / primer for Health GIS
Comment: This book provides a really excellent introduction and overview of the growing field of GIS applications in public health. Thorough and complete, well- and clearly-written, it covers everything a GIS student or beginning practitioner needs to know to get started in this young but rapidly expanding field. It is especially valuable when used in conjunction with a practical tutorial workbook such as GIS Tutorial for Health.
