Data scarcity in epidemiology can be caused by a range of factors:
Underreporting: Often, cases of diseases are not reported due to lack of awareness, stigma, or inadequate healthcare infrastructure. Resource Limitations: Developing regions may lack the necessary tools and funding to conduct comprehensive data collection and surveillance. Political and Social Barriers: Political instability and social unrest can disrupt data collection efforts and lead to insufficient data. Technological Gaps: Limited access to advanced technology can hinder the ability to gather and analyze accurate data.
