Epidemiological gaps can be broadly categorized into several types:
Data Gaps: Lack of comprehensive data on specific populations, diseases, or health outcomes. Knowledge Gaps: Incomplete understanding of disease mechanisms, risk factors, and transmission dynamics. Methodological Gaps: Limitations in research methods, study designs, or analytical techniques. Intervention Gaps: Insufficient evidence on the effectiveness of interventions or preventive measures. Policy Gaps: Inadequate policies or guidelines to address emerging health challenges.
