MeSH Heading: Small-Area Analysis
Tree Number(s): E05.318.740.250.675; N05.715.360.750.200.750; N06.850.520.830.250.675
Unique ID: D017062
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D017062
Scope Note: A method of analyzing the variation in utilization of health care in small geographic or demographic areas. It often studies, for example, the usage rates for a given service or procedure in several small areas, documenting the variation among the areas. By comparing high- and low-use areas, the analysis attempts to determine whether there is a pattern to such use and to identify variables that are associated with and contribute to the variation.
