How Does Epidemiology Identify the Cause of a Disease?


Identifying the cause of a disease involves several steps:
Conducting descriptive studies to observe patterns and formulate hypotheses.
Carrying out analytic studies (case-control and cohort studies) to test these hypotheses.
Using experimental studies to establish causality.
These steps help researchers understand how disease occurs and spreads, which is crucial for developing effective prevention strategies.
