Epidemiology

At Hamilton County Public Health, our epidemiologists collect and analyze data on the Who, What, When, Where, Why and How of personal health issues. Of particular interest are diseases and injuries that affect Hamilton County residents, as well as births and deaths in the county. Epidemiologists analyze this data to characterize public health issues and then use this information for community planning, program evaluation and public health intervention.
