title: Open data for spatial public health research

description: Background Preventive and health-promoting policies can guide (place and
 space-specific) factors influencing human health, such as the physical and
 social environment. Required is data that can lead to a more nuanced
 decision-making process and identify both, existing and future challenges.
 Along with the rise of new technologies, and thus the multiple
 opportunities to use and process data, new options have emerged to measure
 and monitor factors that affect health. Thus, in recent years, several
 gateways for open data (including governmental and geospatial data) became
 available. At present, an increasing number of research institutions as
 well as (state and private) companies and citizens' initiatives
 provide data. However, there is a lack of overviews covering the range of
 such offerings regarding health. In particular, for geographically
 differentiated analyses, there are challenges related to data availability
 at different spatial levels and the growing number of data providers.
 Objectives To provide an overview of open data resources available in the
 context of space and health to date. It also describes the technical and
 legal conditions for using open data Results An up-to-date summary of
 results including information on relevant data access and terms of use is
 provided along with a web visualization. All data is available for further
 use under an open license.
description: The selection of relevant explanatory determinants is based on
 theoretical models. Since the aim of the project is to capture current
 practice initiatives and hardly any scientific research is available for
 this context so far, availability of relevant data is examined using a
 simple web search (Google) and complemented by reviewing references on
 relevant websites as well as in catalogs and data portals. Based on a
 snapshot of the current situation, data sources are identified and
 classified according to theoretical dimensions following a definitional
 introduction to OD and a description of the conceptual framework. For this
 purpose, existing freely available datasets (e.g., web visualizations),
 have been adapted and extended to the new topic.
