CEHI Publishes on Two New Small Area Estimation Tools
body text
The Children’s Environmental Health Initiative and colleagues from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Division of Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention recently published a paper in JMIR Public Health Surveillance about two tools that make it easier for public health practitioners to generate robust small area estimates: the RSTbx (for ArcGIS Pro users) and the RSTr (for R users). These tools were designed to meet the demand for high-quality population health data at the local level to inform public health programs and tailor health promotion activities to the needs of communities across the country.
