What Are the Challenges in Addressing Socioeconomic Factors?
Addressing socioeconomic factors in epidemiology poses several challenges. One major challenge is the complexity and interrelated nature of these factors.

Additionally, there are often systemic barriers and inequalities that require multi-faceted and long-term strategies to overcome. Furthermore, data collection and measurement can be difficult, especially in low-resource settings.
