RECENT CLIENTS

INTRODUCTION
Epidemiology seeks to determine associations between exposure risk and disease that are spatially dependent. Public health focuses on the health of populations rather than of individuals and focuses more on prevention of health problems. These efforts fall naturally within the domain of problems requiring use of spatial analysis as part of the solution, and GIS and other spatial analysis tools are therefore recognized as providing potentially transformational capabilities for Epidemiology and public health efforts.
Participants will acquire hands-on skills in use of Geographic Information System (GIS) as a tool to capture, store, analyze, manage, and visualize disease cases data that is geographically linked. The participants will also acquire statistical data analysis skills.

COURSE DURATION
5 days

TRAINING OBJECTIVES
• To develop Understanding on the different components of a GIS and the role GIS plays in solving epidemiological and public health problems.
• To present to participants all data-related aspects of a GIS, such as the data models in GIS, data input, data editing, data visualization, metadata and managing a spatial database.
• To Carry out advanced analyses of geographical data with specific reference to epidemiological related issues
• To improve data management and analysis skills of the participants
• To perform spatial and temporal epidemiological and public health analysis using GIS.
• Establish understanding on how to work with spatial data and GIS techniques to solve epidemiology and public health problems.
• To expose participants to data capture, input, manipulation and display by GIS
• To demonstrate to participants, use of GIS in mapping health facilities and projects.
• To explain to the participants role of GIS as a decision support system in public health
