What are the Future Directions in the Epidemiology of Neurodevelopmental Disorders?
Future research in the epidemiology of neurodevelopmental disorders will likely focus on refining the understanding of their etiology, improving diagnostic criteria, and developing personalized interventions. Advances in genetic research, including genomics and epigenetics, hold promise for identifying new biomarkers and treatment targets. Moreover, there is a growing interest in the role of the microbiome and its interaction with neurodevelopment. Epidemiologists will continue to explore these areas to provide insights into prevention, diagnosis, and management strategies.
