What Are the Epidemiological Methods Used to Study Environmental Degradation?
Epidemiologists use various methods to study the impact of environmental degradation on health. One common method is the cohort study, which follows a group of people over time to assess the long-term health effects of exposure to environmental hazards. Another method is the case-control study, which compares individuals with a specific disease to those without the disease to identify potential environmental risk factors. Additionally, geospatial analysis can be used to map the distribution of environmental hazards and their correlation with disease outbreaks.
