outbreak investigations and can provide essential information for policy-making.
Biostatisticians: Apply statistical techniques to analyze public health data. They help in designing studies, ensuring that data collection is robust and data analysis is accurate.
Public Health Managers: Oversee public health programs, ensuring that resources are used effectively and that programs are implemented efficiently. They also facilitate communication between different departments and stakeholders.
Data Analysts: Responsible for collecting, cleaning, and processing data. They make sure that the data is ready for analysis by epidemiologists and biostatisticians.
