The units housed within the Environmental Epidemiology and Analytics Section provide critical epidemiological support to surveil, identify, and respond to opportunities for public health interventions regarding opioids, emerging drugs and lead in children, water, and homes. This section also manages data and provides geospatial and visual analytics to all sections throughout DEH.
Environmental Epidemiology and Analytics Section units include:
Marina George, Unit Manager
The Data Management Unit is comprised of data analysts, data managers, GIS analysts, and data technicians. Common working tools include R, SAS, Qualtrics, REDCap, ACCESS, and Excel.
The unit provides support related to data system development, data management, and data analysis for health studies and exposure assessments carried out by DEH. They also develop, review, and improve data systems to capture and evaluate program and/or project-related measures, as well as critical environmental data used by DEH.
In addition, the unit conducts and interprets qualitative, descriptive, inferential, and multivariate statistical analyses and assists DEH staff in these endeavors.
Stuart Eddy, Unit Manager – 517-290-9737
The GIS Unit specializes in mapping, spatial analysis, and data acquisition to support environmental health decisions. The unit primarily develops reference maps and project-specific site maps that show investigation areas, sampling results, demographic information, potential pollution sources, or at-risk locations. Those maps make it easier to understand environmental health issues, design and carry out research, or plan an emergency response.
The GIS Unit will be expanding access to interactive mapping. As data gathering shifts to location-enabled mobile devices, the GIS Unit will be working on in-house maps for DEH staff that show the current status of sampling and response efforts.
In addition, the unit supports DEH with the creation of public-facing web-based maps focused on environmental health themes and DEH’s work around the state.
Mary Franks, Unit Manger
