Social and Behavioral Health Geography

Social and Behavioral Health Geography is the study of how social factors, such as income, education, and community ties, influence health behaviors and outcomes across different locations. In the context of Spatial Epidemiology, it examines patterns of disease and health in relation to where people live and how their environment impacts their health choices. By understanding these connections, researchers can identify trends, develop targeted health interventions, and promote better public health strategies to improve overall well-being in specific communities.
