Evaluating the impact of public health interventions is a critical component of tracking disease trends. This involves comparing disease trends before and after the implementation of an intervention. Key evaluation methods include:
Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs): Assessing the effectiveness of interventions in controlled settings. Quasi-Experimental Designs: Using observational data to infer the impact of interventions. Time-Series Analysis: Analyzing trends over time to determine changes attributable to interventions.
