How Do Genetic Methods Contribute to Public Health?
Genetic methods contribute to public health by:
1. Disease Prevention: Identifying genetic risks can lead to targeted interventions for at-risk populations. 2. Early Diagnosis: Genetic screening can help in the early diagnosis of genetic disorders, improving treatment outcomes. 3. Health Policy: Genetic epidemiology findings can inform health policies and resource allocation. 4. Education and Awareness: Educating the public about genetic risks and promoting healthy behaviors based on genetic information.
