If you look at picture #2 you can see a syndemic/geospatial model using data from the Southern California. If you look at the solid red areas, this population only has HIV/AIDS, pretty explanatory. But if you look at the left hand side of the map, you'll find a long green stripe. This stripe starts in Santa Monica and runs to Laguna, basically the LA County beach cities. The populations in these cities have reported only Syphilis. The beach cities are flocked with nightclubs, packed every night. So, as it turns out, patrons from the clubs run out and engage in extracurricular activities that have lead to the spread of Syphilis. I found this new type of mapping/modeling to be acutely fascinating and a way to focus in on who gets what type of health education program. What do you think of syndemic planning and geospatial mapping so far?

If you are interested, chances are that the county or the like, that you live in are also using syndemic planning to combat disease. Do you think you'll research to see what diseases lurk in your neck of the woods?
