CACHE Seminar - Community Infrastructures and Diabetes Disaster Resilience in Aging Adults in Alabama, Georgia, and Florida

Center for Studies in Demography and Ecology Featuring Dr. Cydney McGuire (Indiana University) and Dr. Hugh Roland & Dr. Azar Abadi (University of Alabama at Birmingham).

To investigate how disasters and community-level factors shape consistency in care, we combine multiple data sources that measure diabetes-related employer-sponsored medical claims, metropolitan disaster exposure, public and community infrastructure, and socio-demographic factors. We will discuss the challenges and solutions in accessing and wrangling disparate data sources, and the analytical decisions that inform the final analytical data structure. In the end, we developed a data set that allows us to assess the mo… Event interval: Single day event.
