What are the main logistical challenges in data collection?
Data collection is fundamental to epidemiological studies, yet it is fraught with challenges. These include obtaining accurate and comprehensive health data, ensuring data privacy and confidentiality, and dealing with incomplete or missing data. Additionally, the logistics of deploying field teams to collect data, especially in remote or resource-limited settings, can be daunting. Ensuring the standardization of data collection methods across diverse populations is also a significant challenge.
