What Are Some Challenges in Assessing Potential Impact?
Assessing potential impact comes with several challenges:
Data quality: Inaccurate or incomplete data can lead to misleading conclusions. Confounding factors: These are external variables that can affect the relationship between exposure and outcome, complicating the interpretation of results. Ethical considerations: Ensuring that research is conducted ethically and that findings are used responsibly. Long-term monitoring: Sustaining surveillance and follow-up studies to observe the long-term impact of interventions.
