A lack of education can contribute to the spread of diseases in several ways:
1. Poor Health Literacy: Individuals with limited education may struggle to understand health guidelines or recognize symptoms of illness, leading to delayed treatment and increased transmission. 2. Misinformation: Uneducated populations are more susceptible to misinformation and myths about diseases, which can result in harmful practices and reluctance to follow public health recommendations. 3. Limited Access to Resources: Education often correlates with socioeconomic status. Those with lower education may lack access to preventive measures such as vaccines, nutritious food, and safe living conditions.
