Applications and Best Practices for Geospatial Analysis Research in Dermatology

Dermatologic diseases often exhibit distinct geographic patterns, underscoring the significant role of regional environmental, genetic, and sociocultural factors in driving their prevalence and manifestations. Geographic information and geospatial analysis enable researchers to investigate the spatial distribution of adverse health outcomes and their relationship with socioeconomic and environmental risk factors that are inherently geographic. Health geographers and spatial epidemiologists have developed numerous geospatial analytical tools to collect, process, visualize, and analyze geographic data.
