Abstract:

The MOD Mapping of Disease Project is an effort to 1 characterize input data relating to diseaseenvironment in such a way that they can be stored and readily retrieved in context by a computerized system which, 2 using these data can meaningfully relate the prevalence, incidence, and character of a disease to a variety of direct and indirect causal factors, always with a time and location characteristic, and 3 output the information directly in map form.
