How Can Epidemiological Methods Be Used to Address Health Inequities?
Epidemiological methods can address health inequities by: - Conducting community-based participatory research that involves the affected communities in the research process. - Using stratified analyses to examine health outcomes across different demographic groups. - Implementing longitudinal studies to understand the long-term effects of social determinants on health. - Applying geographic information systems (GIS) to map health disparities and identify areas in need of targeted interventions.
