More Information for Researchers

The LI GIS database can be explored and analyzed using standard GIS software incorporating statistical, geostatistical, and geospatial tools to develop and test research hypotheses (i.e., statistical relationships), model the extent of potential exposures to various environmental and social conditions that may be relevant to understanding disease risk, and model spatiotemporal trends in disease rates and exposures.
