Beschreibung:
With recent disease outbreaks and concerns about bioterrorism, interest in the application of GIS to individual level data has grown. Geocoding Health Data discusses recent technical and administrative developments in geographic information science that will affect the future practice of geocoding. This book examines how geocoded residential addresses can be used to examine the spatial patterns of cancer incidence, staging, survival, and mortality. It also explores how privacy and confidentiality issues can be addressed by focusing on disclosure limitation methods while simultaneously enabling the use of more accurate spatial data on disease distributions.
Introduction. Geocoding Cancer: Methods, Materials, and Technical Issues. The Science and Art of Geocoding: Tips for Handling Non-Geocoded Cases. Use of Individually Geocoded Cancer Incidence in Spatial Epidemiology. Distance Estimation and Spatial Accessibility. Cancer Registries: What are Current Geocoding Practices? Alternative Techniques for Masking Geographic Detail to Protect Privacy. Future Geocoding Practices, Disclosure Limitation. Conclusions.
