Epidemiologists can use various data sources to diversify their research:
1. Clinical Data: Includes patient records, diagnostic tests, and treatment outcomes. 2. Surveillance Data: Data collected systematically to monitor the spread of diseases. 3. Survey Data: Information gathered directly from individuals through questionnaires or interviews. 4. Environmental Data: Data on air and water quality, as well as exposure to toxins. 5. Genomic Data: Information on genetic variations and their association with diseases.
