What Are Some Challenges in Achieving Health Equity in Epidemiology?

Achieving health equity in epidemiology faces several challenges, including:
- Limited data on certain populations, such as undocumented immigrants or rural communities, which hinders comprehensive analysis.
- Structural biases in research design and data collection that may overlook or misrepresent marginalized groups.
- Inadequate funding and resources for research that focuses on health equity and disparities.
- Resistance to change within public health systems and institutions that perpetuate inequities.
