[Rd] R and Epi Info

[Renaud Lancelot]

Dear Kevin,

I often use Epi Info to develop questionnaires and databases with MSc
/ PhD students for the purpose of field surveys. It's straightforward
to send queries in the Epi Info databases (MS Access format) and
retrieve data using packages like RODBC.

All the best,

Renaud

> Hello,
>   I was wondering who to contact to see about somehow interconnecting or integrating the programs R and Epi Info.  I have been involved in the development of Epi Info which is a software program developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta (www.cdc.gov/epiinfo<http://www.cdc.gov/epiinfo>).  Epi Info allows for creating data entry systems and performs certain epidemiologic and statistical analyses.  Currently Epi Info is in the public domain and I believe future versions will be open source.  It might be useful to pull together some of the Epi Info development team members and R team members to discuss how the programs might complement each other.  Note that I request this from my position at Emory University and this is not an official request from CDC.
