(20.01.2010)
Professor Andrew B. Lawson from Division of Biostatistics & Epidemiology, College of Medicine, Medical University of South Carolina, USA is the speaker on two courses about Bayesian Disease Mapping at the National Institute of Public Health in Copenhagen in April 2010. Mr Lawson is a World Health Organization (WHO) advisor on Disease Mapping and organized with the WHO an International workshop on this topic which has led to an edited volume "Disease Mapping and Risk Assessment for Public Health". He has published a number of books focused on disease mapping and spatial epidemiology. In particular, a new volume entitled Bayesian Disease Mapping: hierarchical modeling in spatial epidemiology will be a course text for this course.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
The course is intended for epidemiologists and public health workers who need to analyse geographical disease incidence. In addition, the course may be of interest to statisticians or geographers and planners who deal with spatial and spatio-temporal disease data. Some statistical/epidemiological background would be beneficial but is not essential.
VENUE
The course will take place at the National Institute of Public Health, University of Southern Denmark, Østre Farimagsgade 5A, DK-1353 København K, Denmark.
