CONTACT:Peter Watson
DESCRIPTION:In this non-technical talk\, I will reconnect with a long stan
 ding interest of mine\, that of studying the geographical variations of ch
 ronic diseases and of exploiting the natural geographical variation of man
 y environmental exposures to gain insight into disease determinants. With 
 the increasing availability of area level data at a small scale\, there ar
 e a number of non-standard aspects to spatial analyses in health that I sh
 all discuss\, including the use of hierarchical models to stabilize small 
 area estimates\, spatial confounding and ecological bias. The talk will be
  illustrated by studies in environment and health.
