How Can Epidemiology Address Emerging Public Health Threats?
Epidemiology is essential in addressing emerging public health threats through surveillance, research, and intervention. Surveillance systems help detect outbreaks early, while epidemiological research identifies risk factors and transmission patterns. Interventions, such as vaccination programs and public health campaigns, can prevent and control the spread of diseases. Collaborative efforts between governments, organizations, and communities are vital for effective response and preparedness.
