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.
Thanks, Kevin

It is not very active, but I know that at least some of the regulars are familiar with Epi Info and the list includes the authors of several R packages for epidemiology. -- Peter Dalgaard Center for Statistics, Copenhagen Business School Solbjerg Plads 3, 2000 Frederiksberg, Denmark Phone: (+45)38153501 Email: pd.mes at cbs.dk Priv: PDalgd at gmail.com
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.
