PUBH 7300 - Spatial Anlys/Sim for UrbnHlth **

Credit Hours: (3)

Description The use of spatial analysis and simulation has become increasingly common in the study of urban health problems. This course aims to provide graduate students the framework and basic concepts of spatial epidemiology, health geography and system sciences. Students are expected to understand and be able to apply the major methods from spatial analysis, GIS, and Agent-based model for health problems. The spatial analysis and simulation methods will be learned within the context of urban health, focusing on urban environment and health disparities. Students will apply and integrate various methods collectively for a selected project.
