    The New Zealand Medical Journal
    |June 9, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study introduces a computerised grid to map infectious hepatitis outbreaks, using social and cluster analysis with census, mortality, and morbidity data for New Zealand. This approach aids in understanding disease distribution.

    Area of Science:

    • Epidemiology
    • Public Health
    • Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

    Background:

    • Infectious hepatitis outbreaks present challenges in understanding temporal and spatial distribution.
    • Effective mapping tools are crucial for public health surveillance and intervention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the development and application of a computerised grid system for visualizing infectious hepatitis outbreaks.
    • To explore the utility of social area and cluster analysis for epidemiological studies in New Zealand.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a computerised grid for temporal and spatial outbreak data representation.
    • Application of social area analysis and cluster analysis techniques.
    • Integration of New Zealand census data with geographical mortality and morbidity records.

    Main Results:

    • The computerised grid effectively demonstrates the temporal and spatial patterns of infectious hepatitis outbreaks.
    • Social area and cluster analysis methods are suitable for analyzing disease distribution using linked datasets.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed computerised grid and analytical methods offer a valuable tool for infectious hepatitis surveillance in New Zealand.
    • Linking census data with health records via geographical reference enhances epidemiological insights.
