What Are the Common Types of Resource Constraints?
Resource constraints in epidemiology can be broadly categorized into financial, human, and material limitations:
Financial Constraints: Limited funding can restrict the scale of research projects, reduce the number of participating researchers, and limit the availability of advanced technologies and tools. Human Resources: A shortage of trained epidemiologists, data analysts, and healthcare workers can hinder data collection and analysis, as well as the implementation of intervention programs. Material Resources: Insufficient equipment, laboratory supplies, and data management systems can delay research and affect the quality of the data collected.
