We focus on observational studies of environmental epidemiology where the goal is to estimate the effect of an exposure variable, such as air pollution, on a health outcome using spatial area-level data. We describe a novel framework introduced in [1] seeking estimation of the exposure effect at different spatial resolution and show how these methods behave under different types of conditionally autore- gressive spatial models defined by the user. We illustrate the methods in a study on the association between COVID-19 mortality and air pollution.

Abstract
We focus on observational studies of environmental epidemiology where the goal is to estimate the effect of an exposure variable, such as air pollution, on a health outcome using spatial area-level data. We describe a novel framework introduced in [1] seeking estimation of the exposure effect at different spatial resolution and show how these methods behave under different types of conditionally autore- gressive spatial models defined by the user. We illustrate the methods in a study on the association between COVID-19 mortality and air pollution.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
