Event details
Do you need a map to support the chronic disease prevention work you are doing, but have not had a chance to develop GIS skills? You don’t have to be a GIS analyst to create maps that are useful and informative. Using the CDC Interactive Atlas of Heart Disease and Stroke, you will learn how to create maps with this hands-on training. You will be introduced to the tools and features of the Interactive Atlas, and be guided through the process of creating two maps that address real world scenarios for using chronic disease maps in health department settings. This Atlas includes a wide range of data, including:
- Mortality and Hospitalization Data
- Behavioral Risk Factors
- Social and Economic Data
- Health Care Delivery and Insurance
- Air Pollution and Park Access
- Blood Pressure Medication Adherence
- Health Care Costs

By the end of this webinar, you should be able to:
- Document geographic disparities by race, age, and gender in your state on a map
