Identification and interrelationships of health disparities: A geospatial analysis
Identification and understanding of health disparities is a research topic of growing importance. Health problems facing the world today exist in a geographic context and any analysis requires a comprehensive understanding of spatial aspects. A geographical information system (GIS) provides an excellent tool for identification of such disparities, including mapping at the small area level and spatial/spatiotemporal analysis of health outcomes of sociodemographic subgroups. The research project will focus on the analysis of trends, dependencies, and interrelationships of health disparities at a detailed spatial level. The subject of the PhD thesis can be specified according to the research interests of the PhD candidate.
