Abstract

Background and Objective: Visualization enables researchers to view variable diffusion spatially to pinpoint geographic areas of interest for further investigation, particularly with big or large amounts of data. Without the ability to visualize large amounts of data concerning diseases, such as CVD, important relationships may be missed that could have the potential of affecting public health policy and practice.
