What are Some Challenges in Epidemiological Assessment?
Several challenges can affect the accuracy and reliability of epidemiological assessments:
Bias: Systematic errors that can distort findings, such as selection bias or information bias. Confounding: The influence of extraneous variables that can obscure the true relationship between the variables of interest. Data Quality: Issues related to the completeness, accuracy, and timeliness of data. Ethical Considerations: Ensuring the confidentiality and informed consent of study participants.
