The spatial aspect of many population health problems has been increasingly recognized and studied using spatial analysis and spatial regression models. While the methods are many, there is a learning curve to learn and apply them to empirical analysis. This talk aims to introduce the concepts of spatial regression modeling and provides a taste of the spatial regression models that can be useful for population health research. This talk is based on a recently published textbook titled “Spatial Regression Models for the Social Sciences” (Guangqing Chi and Jun Zhu. 2019. SAGE. ISBN: 9781544302072).
