CanPath and the Canadian Urban Environmental Health Research Consortium (CANUE), two centres at the DLSPH, are expanding their collaboration by adding 17 new environmental exposure datasets to their existing data resources.
This webinar will introduce researchers to these new datasets, which include comprehensive measures of green spaces and vegetation (e.g., NDVI, Landsat, MODIS), air quality (PM2.5, smoke exposure), accessibility and transportation, and socioeconomic conditions. The presenters will also provide practical examples of how researchers can utilize these datasets in studies focused on chronic diseases, cancer, and environmental health. They will share powerful tools to examine the spatial dimensions of health determinants.
This webinar offers an essential opportunity for researchers looking to expand their toolkit for investigating the impact of environmental exposures on health, utilizing rich, nationally harmonized cohort data.
