Hi Tatia,

You should Talk to Gerard Rushton at the University of IOWA.  THey have made a
CD-ROM - for which I have a few copies which I gave to some Epidemiologists here
at Health Canada.

It explains all you need to know on how to Adjust your points automatically to
protect for
Privacy of information at the household level.  See his web site and from there
you can get
his E-Mail.      http://www.uiowa.edu/~geog/health/

Good luck,

MARK

PS  please let me know what you did so that I can pass it on here at Health
Canada.

Subject:  Issue of Confidentiality in Small Area GIS mapping




Dear Colleagues,
My name is Tatia Chay and I am an MPH-Epidemiology candidate at the George
Washington University School of Public Health. I am currently working to map
breast cancer incidence and mortality using GIS for DC and have run into some
obstacles due to the sensitive nature of certain addresses in the District.
Does anyone have any suggestions for circumventing this issue.
Thank you,
Tatia
