Western PA Home to First Diabetes Study to use GIS
I frankly find that surprising, but that’s what graduate researcher Laura Bettencourt University of Pittsburgh Diabetes Institute states in an article in the Johnstown, PA Tribute Democrat.
The study looks at both underlying factors that may contribute to high instances of the disease as well as where to locate facilities to support those who have it. L. Robert Kimball Associates in Ebensburg, PA is a partner in the work which uses federal funds to study Rep. John Murtha’s 12th Congressional District. Murtha describes a diabetes epidemic in the region.
The $170,000 study is part of ongoing work between the Institute and the Air Force.
