Epidemiologists can study race and health through various methods, including:
- Descriptive Studies: These studies describe the distribution of diseases and health outcomes across different racial groups. - Analytical Studies: These studies investigate the association between race and health outcomes, often adjusting for confounding variables like SES. - Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR): This approach involves collaborating with community members to ensure that research is culturally relevant and addresses the specific needs of the community.
