Subject outline
This subject focuses on the intersection between spatial environments and health, and particularly investigates the relationship between place, and health outcomes and determinants of health. The impact that urban and rural settings, and built and natural environments have on access to resources and services important for promoting health are explored. Distinct methodologies advantageous towards the discipline are summarised, and data visualisation techniques and approaches underpinned by geographic information systems are introduced. Additionally, global public health policies addressing place are considered and evaluated.
