EPA's THERdbASE (Total Human Exposure Risk
database and Advanced Simulation Environment) modeling and software tool can be accessed
and downloaded.
EPIINFO ver. 6.04b Epi Info is a
complete system for word processing, data entry, database management, analysis and public
health statistics. Facilities are provided for importing and exporting a variety of file
types. It is easy to use for epidemiologic investigations. Epi Info is produced by the
Centers for Disease Control (CDC)and the World Health Organization (WHO). Version 6.04b
DO EPI DoEpi is a series of
educational studies and computer exercises designed to teach both epidemiology and the use
of Epi Info. Included is an instructor's module with which one can create an interactive,
hypertext teaching module. Do Epi is a tool for using and creating Computer-assisted
Instruction (CAI).
EPIMAP a program that enables
you to make or import maps, and then to display rates and other public health data within
the several geographic areas. Can import outputs from EPIINFO.
SSS1 (Statistical Surveillance
System) a program for tracking morbidity, mortality, and other indicators over time. Can
import from and export to both EPIINFO and EPIMAP.
EPISURV ver. 2.21 Episurv is a
generator of epidemiologic applications and health information systems. It is ideal for
surveillance as it manages large data bases, works in a network, provides security
options, produces graphics, and links with Word for printing. Data imports/exports are
rapid. Optimized indexes yield high speed analysis. A recoding module permits detection of
duplications. Texts are in French.
SUMA ver. 5.0
The flood of relief supplies that arrive in the aftermath of large-scale disasters often
poses serious logistic and management problems for national authorities. SUMA is a tool
for the management of humanitarian relief supplies, from the time pledges are made by
donors, to their entry into the disaster area and their storage and distribution.
CLUSTER version 3.1
This software is designed to help the researcher determine if there is a statistically
significant chance that a disease cluster occurred other than by random phenomenon. Since
the evaluation of disease clusters is a complex task, it is also important that the user
have familiarity with cluster investigation and analysis before attempting to use this
software. The software includes 12 statistical methods that analyze the significance of a
cluster using techniques that evaluate, time, space, and both time and space clustering.
The software is programmed with three major categories, six subcategories, and twelve
analysis procedures.
CONQUEST
COmputerizedNeeds-Oriented Quality Measurement Evaluation SysTem is a prototype system for
collecting and evaluating clinical performance measures. It includes two interlocking
databases—a Measure Database and a Condition Database—with a user-friendly
interface to help you find measures to fit your needs. It summarizes information on
approximately 1,200 clinical performance measures developed by public- and private-sector
organizations, and summarizes recommendations from Agency for Health Care Policy and
Research-supported clinical practice guidelines and findings from AHCPR's Patient Outcomes
Research Team (PORT) projects.
MEDQUEST MedQuest,
sponsored by the DHHS Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA), provides tools for
design of your own data entry systems without programming intervention. Variables and data
entry rules can be created and revised quickly. Design and Data Entry functions allow the
designer to concurrently develop the design concept and test it through the data entry
function. The data collection system that you design with MedQuest can be used to collect
a custom set of clinical data for statistical analysis purposes such as determining
quality of care or utilization of care. Actual data can be entered as soon as the design
function is completed. Data collected are stored in a Microsoft Access database and can be
exported through MedQuest to a format that can be read by statistical analysis tools such
as SAS and STATA.
IMPS (Integrated
Microcomputer Processing System) performs the major tasks in survey and census data
processing: data entry, data editing, tabulation, data dissemination, statistical analysis
and data capture control which can be used as a complete processing system or as
stand-alone modules. Developed by a team at the U.S. Census Bureau.
PAS (Population Analysis
Spreadsheets) consists of 45 spreadsheets for population analysis, e.g. adjusting any
population total by sex to a given age structure. Developed by the U.S. Census
Bureau. The PAS documentation is contained in the second volume of the manual Population Analysis with
Microcomputers.
RUP (Rural/Urban Projection)
ver.1.30 can be used for projecting the population of one or two areas (usually urban
and rural areas) simultaneously. There are two options: (a) to project each of the areas
and obtain the total as an aggregate, or (b) to project the total and one area and obtain
the other area by subtraction. Developed by the U.S. Census Bureau
EASEVAL (Easy Analysis for
EVALuation) is a program that permits easy viewing, investigation and further analysis of
the data sets of the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS). It facilitates, for example,
user-friendly calculation of frequencies, cross-tabulations, and indicators. EASEVAL was
developed by the Futures Group International, with partial USAID support.
DemProj (Demographic Projection
Model) created by The Futures Group, is a full-featured population projection program. It
is designed to permit easy manipulation and analysis of demographic data by any user with
a basic understanding of demographic principles and the ability to operate a
microcomputer. DemProj has been used by a large number of planners and researchers around
the world. Its strongest feature is that it is easy to use. It is intended mainly for the
planner or researcher who is not necessarily a demographer.
Target-Cost facilitates
calculations to ensure that adopted demographic targets--mostly concerning fertility,
population growth rate and size--are feasible. It also determines requirements in supplies
and funding for achieving stated targets. Based upon the Target-Setting Model developed by
The Population Council and The Futures Group (Bongaarts and Stover, 1986), it shows the
family planning requirements needed to meet specific fertility goals. It can be used t
determine the number of family planning users, new acceptors and commodities required, by
method and source, to achieve a total fertility rate (TFR) target, based on estimates of
changes in the other proximate determinants of fertility. It also calculates projected
costs to meet TFR targets. The Target-Cost Model has been produced by The Futures Group
under the OPTIONS project of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
The Internet Grateful Med is public domain
communications software that allows you to formulate and request literature searches via
the Internet after you have established an account with the National Library of Medicine.
Payment is due for use of time and services (such as printing) of the Medlars computer.
Population Council DATABANK,
Version 3.11 - The Population Council Databank System is a completely integrated and
easy to use system for storing, displaying, and analyzing large amounts of demographic
data. Typical Databank System data files might be countries of the world, states or
provinces of a country, cities of a state or province, districts of a city, or even
households within a village. Users may compute and recode variables. Descriptive
procedures include printing, sorting, grouping, and crosstabs. Statistical procedures
include correlation, regression, and multiple regression. Graphical routines include
plots, cumulative plots, timelines, scattergrams, and maps.
