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对健康的影响需要 关于社区一级的人口和农业特征的信息--决策的关键尺度-- 行动和行动。人口和住房普查以及农业普查提供深入的、社区的- 关于人口、教育、就业和生活条件以及农业投入的规模数据， 实践和工作效率。目前，这些数据很难访问和使用，用于研究和决策- 制作。虽然几乎每个国家都会定期进行人口普查，但结果是由 数以百计的统计机构，通常是为阅读而不是分析而设计的报告。建议数 项目--IPUMS国际历史地理信息系统(IPUMS IHGIS)--将组装 将这些数据存储在可供分析、标准化且有完整文档记录的集合中，并免费提供这些数据 通过用户友好的基于Web的界面。这些数据将使研究人员能够更好地回答广泛的 环境健康问题，如哪些人口层面的因素导致了媒介传播的传播 在这些地方，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)摄取 人口和农业普查数据。使用由NSF资助开发的软件、数据和边界 来自250次人口普查的大约25,000张额外表格将被添加到IHGIS数据库中，增加了十倍 增加到当前集合。来自最容易受到气候变化健康影响的国家的数据 并提供可用的最好的地理细节将被优先考虑。(2)启用人口普查数据之间的链接 和健康数据，允许用户将社区级人口普查数据附加到个人级健康调查数据 人口和健康调查、执行情况监测行动调查和多指标组 调查。该项目还将开发一个实用程序，为用户上传的坐标提供地理单位代码， 因此，研究人员可以将他们自己的健康数据与IHGIS的上下文数据联系起来。(三)提高标准化水平和 跨数据集集成，以支持跨时间和国家之间的比较。增强了对 软件将允许根据主题和地理细节级别进行筛选和选择，标准化单位 测量，并创建选定数据表的集成版本。(4)支持和拓展IHGIS用户 通过在线教程、虚拟和面对面研讨会、网络研讨会和一对一用户支持来开发 使用IHGIS数据的新的和老牌的环境健康研究人员组成的广泛社区。外展工作 将专注于接触、培训和支持不同的背景、学科和职业阶段- 环境健康研究人员社区。通过提供有关以下方面的丰富、详细和广泛的信息 根据世界各地人口的特征，IHGIS数据还将促进NIEHS开发一个 全球环境健康计划，了解弱势群体的健康差距和风险。
