CSTE Spatial Analysis Workgroup

Discussion Question

Just curious, what are some of the ways you are using Spatial Analysis in your current work or a previous project?

Maria--

I did these analyses several years ago (seems like forever ago, what with the pandemic):

I hope to get back to the question of the relationship between minimarts and opioid overdose. Since I did those analyses, several new minimarts have opened in our community; this might present an opportunity for me to look at changes in the spatial intensity of opioid overdoses in those locations, pre- and post-opening of the establishments.

Hello Geospatial-colleagues!
I come from a background in public utilities but as a GIS Research Specialist I in Public Health I maintain the Riverside County, CA - Overdose Dashboard (arcgis.com), assist internal and external partners with GIS analysis, storymaps, dashboards and I am currently working to create a Community COVID-19 Impact Hub in Experience Builder. I work with a wide range of data including overdose, suicide, school suspensions, and more. I use ESRI ArcPro, ArcOnline, and Community Analyst (beginning to dabble more in C.A.). My spatial analysis revolves around rates by county boundaries (regions, zip code, supervisory district, census tract), happy to connect and bounce ideas off one another.

Hi Andrea,

Thank you for sharing this example of your amazing GIS work in Riverside County.
We in the County of Los Angeles DPH Office of Violence Prevention are just getting started to use ESRI’s AGOL, including learning how to use dashboards and story maps.
I wish you would do a demo for our CSTE Spatial Analysis Workgroup in the future.
I am one of the cochairs in this CSTE workgroup, incidentally.

Would you have a few minutes to speak via MS Teams or over the phone?

Please let me know, thank you.

Ricardo

I'll email you to follow up, thank you.

Chris Ryan Chris The beauty of replying to the email, is that it goes directly to our basecamp discussion board.
 
I know its been hard for so many of us to get back to our pre-covid duties. Thank you so much for sharing these articles! When you are ready to get back into this, I think we would all love to hear about your work on this and we could share with our substance use and injury groups as well :)

Well look at that, I managed to get back into this Basecamp website, with a little password reset along the way.

Maria, if you mean some sort of presentation to the group, I'd be open to that, once I get back in the groove of the topic. I presented at CSTE, in the Before Times. Thanks for asking.
