Map variables are used in a variety of ways to support epidemiological research and public health interventions:
Identifying disease clusters and hotspots to inform targeted interventions and resource allocation. Examining the spatial distribution of risk factors, such as environmental hazards or socioeconomic status. Tracking the spread of infectious diseases over time and space to guide containment and prevention efforts. Evaluating the impact of public health interventions by comparing geographic patterns before and after implementation.
