Explore and Import Metopio Powered Health Atlases.
Metopio helps many public health departments build curated data platforms. These data platforms are a convenient way for community members and researchers to explore and download public health data. With the same spirit in mind, this package aim to make interfacing with these data portals within R more painless and reproducible.
Note: This is an unofficial R wrapper for Metopio Health Atlases. This package is in no way affiliated with the Metopio or any of the public health departments Metopio serves.
Examples of Metopio health atlases include:
You can install healthatlas from CRAN.
install.packages("healthatlas")Or, you can install the development version of healthatlas from GitHub with:
# install.packages("pak")
pak::pkg_install("ryanzomorrodi/healthatlas")library(healthatlas)Set your health atlas. For this example, we are going to use the
Chicago Health Atlas, and can do so, by providing the Chicago Health
Atlas URL to ha_set().
ha_set("chicagohealthatlas.org")We can list all the topics (aka indicators) present within Chicago
Health Atlas using ha_topics(). The most important column
here is the topic_key which can be used to identify the
topic within subsequent functions.
