Abstract


Paper  Community Breast Cancer Mapping--Huntington, Long Island
Track: Health and Human Services
Author(s): Scott Carlin

The Huntington Breast Cancer Action Coalition (HBCAC) recently completed a survey of town residents regarding breast cancer. This paper reports on recent efforts to map those surveys using ArcView GIS. Breast cancer cases will be overlayed onto various environmental maps, such as local toxic sites, to look for general patterns among these variables. Basic statistical analyses will also be summarized.
