Epidemiological models provide evidence-based insights that inform public health policy in several ways:
- Risk Assessment: Models help assess the risk of disease outbreaks and the potential impact on public health. - Intervention Strategies: They guide the design and implementation of intervention strategies to control or mitigate the spread of disease. - Public Communication: Models can be used to communicate the potential outcomes of different scenarios to the public and policymakers. - Emergency Preparedness: They assist in planning and preparedness for future epidemics or pandemics.
