Exploring Cancer in 麻豆传媒高清 (ECCO)
Exploring Cancer in 麻豆传媒高清 (ECCO) is an interactive platform that offers data covering 麻豆传媒高清 demographics, cancer rates, disparities, risk factors, environmental exposures, and social determinants of health. Users can also
view locations for cancer prevention, treatment, and survivorship resources.
ECCO is intended to guide COE activities, inform/educate community partners, and support research - in particular, research that is relevant to our catchment area. It can be used to describe our catchment population in terms of demographics and cancer burden, generate new research hypotheses, and support grant applications/papers with data that can be downloaded and populated into tables and graphs.
Visualize your data and area of interest by creating custom maps
Start by choosing the geographic level (county or census tract) and the type of data measure you’re interested in such as sociodemographics, cancer burden, health behaviors or risk factors). Overlay locations for cancer care and other resources like screening centers or clinics onto map and click on regions or points for more details. Maps that you create can be downloaded by clicking on the ‘Map’ button below that map shown on the screen. Data by county and tract level for some measure categories can also be downloaded into an excel file by clicking on the download symbol next to the measure category.
