Data collection and analysis are fundamental components of epidemiology. In Case Study 2, data were collected through:
- Surveillance: Continuous monitoring of new cases and symptoms. - Surveys: Structured questionnaires to gather information on symptoms, contacts, and exposures. - Laboratory Testing: Confirmatory testing to diagnose the disease.
The collected data were analyzed using statistical methods to determine incidence, prevalence, and attack rate. This analysis provided insights into the disease's spread and severity.
