The aim of this initiative is to establish a comprehensive contextual database for use by Kaiser Permanente Division of Research (KP-DOR) and UCSF investigators in conjunction with the Research Program in Genes, Environment and Health (RPGEH) and other Kaiser DOR research initiatives . We will compile identified environmental, geographical, socio-economic, administrative, and contextual data in order to permit sophisticated spatial and multilevel analysis of neighborhood-level effects on health behaviors and outcomes.
