dc.description.abstractBackground: Cluster detection analysis could be an appropriate approach to identify critical AIDS mortality locations for public health intervention. Methods: GIS and Kulldorff’s spatial scan statistic was used to investigate statistically significant AIDS mortality clusters (p 0.05). SaTScan was used to perform the spatial analysis scanning while MapInfo was used as a visualizing tool. Mortality data between 2000- 2006 were analyzed. Results: AIDS exhibit strong spatial clustering tendencies as measured by the Kulldorff’s spatial scan statistic method. Conclusion: Further work is needed to understand the underlying mechanisms responsible for the spatial clustering.en_US
