Abstract

The geographic distribution of disease is an important process, especially when considering provision of cancer screening services. Descriptive epidemiology is a branch of epidemiology that characterizes the “what, who, where, and when” of disease characteristics as they exist among populations. Geographic information systems (GIS) provide us with the unique ability to visualize disease, provides opportunity for lung cancer screening programs to identify areas that could benefit from additional outreach and deploy services in those neighborhoods, thus creating a more equitable screening framework.
