Triggers are identified through various epidemiological methods, including: - Surveillance Systems: Continuous monitoring of disease patterns helps in identifying potential triggers. - Case-Control Studies: Comparing individuals with a disease to those without can help identify factors that might act as triggers. - Cohort Studies: Following a group of people over time to see who develops a disease can help identify potential triggers. - Field Investigations: Outbreak investigations often reveal triggers through on-ground data collection and analysis.
