Course Description & Objective Spatial Epidemiology is a subfield of epidemiology that focuses on the description and analysis of health data indexed geographically, considering demographic, environmental, behavioral, socioeconomic, genetic, and infectious risk factors. This course aims to introduce students to basic concepts and methods used in public health studies within the field of spatial epidemiology. The course is primarily concerned with describing, quantifying, and explaining geographical variations in disease occurrence. It consists of two parts: Part 1 introduces spatial statistics applied in explorations of disease’s spatial distributions, while Part 2 covers spatial regressions in modeling exposure-response in various epidemiological studies. After taking course, students are expected to build students’ spatial thinking and to strengthen skills in spatial data analyses and communications.
