https://doi.org/10.5878/jcmx-cm10
The dataset contains raw data from a survey study aimed at investigating the incidence and risk factors associated with large bloodworm infection. The data also contains a file with the zip code of where the respondent lives and the GPS coordinates of the zip code. The postal code data has been separated from the other data and has been processed separately from the survey's raw data.
