What Challenges Do Policymakers Face in Utilizing Epidemiological Data?
One of the main challenges is the interpretation of data. Policymakers may not always have the expertise to understand complex epidemiological findings.

Furthermore, there may be political and economic pressures that influence the decision-making process, sometimes leading to policies that do not align perfectly with epidemiological evidence.
