Snippet: Although we must be careful again to truly understand what we are mapping. For example, health care maps will almost always show concentrations of disease around major urban settings. This doesn't necessarily mean that urban settings have a causal link with that disease, but more likely that families with chronically ill members will actually move into those urban settings in order to access specialized care.

Document: Although we must be careful again to truly understand what we are mapping. For example, health care maps will almost always show concentrations of disease around major urban settings. This doesn't necessarily mean that urban settings have a causal link with that disease, but more likely that families with chronically ill members will actually move into those urban settings in order to access specialized care. Consequentially, we must be cautious when drawing conclusions from density maps unless we truly understand both the source and the validity of the data being presented.
