The use of computerised archives, mainly set up for administrative purposes, has become very common in public health providing the opportunity for developing suitable tools to support epidemiological studies. Individual data on relevant health related events as some potential occupational exposures, hospital admissions, drug prescriptions, cause of death are often recorded in independent archives which can be used in an integrated approach for public health and epidemiological purposes. The present book includes the abstracts of speeches and posters presented at the 2007 AIE Spring Meeting, jointly organised by the Italian Epidemiological Association (AIE) and the National Centre for Epidemiology, Surveillance and Health Promotion (CNESPS) at the Istituto Superiore di Sanità. The major topics addressed are the qualitative aspects in the record-linkage procedures, the use of files integration for various epidemiological purposes, the use of various sources including social data.
