The Institute of Psychiatry is located at 67 President Street, (corner of President and Doughty Streets), Charleston. This meeting is a jointly sponsored event with SAMSI and so the meeting also represents a SAMSI workshop on spatial epidemiology forming part of the 2009 - 2010 Program on Space-time Analysis for Environmental Mapping, Epidemiology and Climate Change. Today, more and more issues are arising in public health involving geography and medicine.
