Introduction to Data Linking Using GIS (training materials)
These materials are a good place for public health workers and health information managers to start learning to think spatially. Datasets which include a spatial component encourage data linking within a GIS (geographic information system), which can also lead to better visualization of data, and ultimately, better decision-making.
These training materials introduce the learner to these concepts and help answer the question, "Why should I consider the "Where" in my data"?
