Project Summary/Abstract Understanding and mitigating the health impacts of climate change and other environmental exposures requires information on population and agricultural characteristics at the community level—a key scale for decision- making and action. Population and housing censuses and agricultural censuses provide in-depth, community- scale data on demographics, education, employment, and living conditions as well as on farming inputs, practices, and productivity. Currently, these data are difficult to access and use for research and decision- making. While nearly every country conducts regular censuses, the results are published independently by hundreds of statistical agencies, often in reports designed for reading rather than for analysis. The proposed project—the IPUMS International Historical Geographic Information System (IPUMS IHGIS)—will assemble these data in an analysis-ready, standardized, and fully documented collection and make them freely available via a user-friendly web-based interface. These data will allow researchers to better answer a wide range of environmental health questions, such as what population-level factors contribute to the spread of vector-borne disease or where people are particularly vulnerable to food insecurity. The project has four Aims: (1) Ingest population and agricultural census data. Using software developed with NSF funding, data and boundaries for approximately 25,000 additional tables from 250 censuses will be added to the IHGIS database, a ten-fold increase to the current collection. Data from countries most vulnerable to health impacts from climate change and providing the finest geographic detail available will be prioritized. (2) Enable linkages between census data and health data, allowing users to attach community-level census data to individual-level health survey data from the Demographic and Health Surveys, Performance Monitoring for Action surveys, and Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys. The project will also develop a utility to provide geographic unit codes for user-uploaded coordinates, so researchers can link their own health data to IHGIS contextual data. (3) Improve standardization and integration across datasets to support comparisons across time and between countries. Enhancements to the software will enable filtering and selection based on topics and level of geographical detail, standardize units of measurement, and create integrated versions of selected data tables. (4) Support and expand the IHGIS user base through online tutorials, virtual and in-person workshops, webinars, and one-to-one user support to develop a broad community of new and established environmental-health researchers using IHGIS data. Outreach efforts will focus on reaching, training, and supporting a diverse—in background, discipline, and career stage— community of environmental health researchers. By providing rich, detailed, and expansive information on characteristics of populations around the world, IHGIS data will also further the NIEHS goals of developing a program in global environmental health and understanding health disparities and risks for vulnerable populations.

项目摘要/摘要 了解和减轻气候变化和其他环境暴露的健康影响需要 关于社区层面的人口和农业特征的信息 - 决策的关键量表 - 制作和行动。人口和住房普查和农业普查提供深入的社区 - 扩展有关人口统计，教育，就业和生活条件以及农业投入的数据， 实践和生产力。当前，这些数据难以访问和使用进行研究和决策 - 制作。虽然几乎每个国家进行定期普查，但结果是由 数百个统计机构通常是在设计用于阅读而不是用于分析的报告中。提议 项目 - IPUMS国际历史地理信息系统（IPUMS IHGIS） - 将组装 这些数据在准备就绪，标准化和充分记录的收集中，并使它们免费提供 通过用户友好的基于Web的接口。这些数据将使研究人员能够更好地回答 环境健康问题，例如哪些人口级因素有助于媒介传播 疾病或人们特别容易受到粮食不安全的影响。该项目有四个目标：（1）摄入 人口和农业普查数据。使用使用NSF资金，数据和边界开发的软件 IHGIS数据库将添加大约250个人口普查中的25,000张桌子，这是十倍 增加当前集合。来自气候变化最容易受到健康影响的国家的数据 并且提供可用的最好的地理细节将得到优先级。 （2）启用人口普查数据之间的联系 和健康数据，使用户可以将社区级的人口普查数据附加到个人级健康调查数据中 人口和健康调查，行动调查的绩效监控以及多个指示集群 调查。该项目还将开发一个实用程序，以提供用于用户上传坐标的地理单元代码， 因此，研究人员可以将自己的健康数据与IHGIS上下文数据联系起来。 （3）提高标准化和 跨数据集的集成，以支持各个国家和国家之间的比较。增强 软件将根据主题和地理细节的级别进行过滤和选择，并标准化 测量，并创建选定数据表的集成版本。 （4）支持和扩展IHGIS用户 通过在线教程，虚拟和面对面的研讨会，网络研讨会以及一对一的用户支持以开发 使用IHGIS数据组成的新的和已建立的环境健康研究人员的广泛社区。推广工作 将专注于在背景，纪律和职业阶段进行访问，培训和支持潜水员 环境健康研究人员社区。通过提供丰富，详细和广泛的信息 世界各地人口的特征，IHGIS数据还将进一步发展NIEHS的目标 全球环境健康和了解脆弱人群的健康差异和风险的计划。
