How Do Epidemiologists Study Child Health?

Epidemiologists use various methods to study child health:
Surveillance: Continuous monitoring of health events in children helps identify patterns and trends in disease occurrence.
Cohort Studies: These studies follow groups of children over time to assess the impact of different exposures on health outcomes.
Case-Control Studies: These studies compare children with a specific condition to those without, to identify potential risk factors.
Randomized Controlled Trials: These trials test the efficacy of interventions, such as vaccines or nutritional supplements, in improving child health.
