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.
