How Can Epidemiology Address Socioeconomic Disparities?
Epidemiology can play a key role in addressing these disparities through:
Surveillance: Monitoring health outcomes across different socioeconomic groups to identify and quantify disparities. Research: Conducting studies to understand the underlying causes and mechanisms of socioeconomic disparities in health. Policy Development: Informing and advocating for policies that aim to reduce these disparities, such as improving access to healthcare and addressing social determinants of health.
