In epidemiology, liability can be broadly categorized into several areas:
Research Misconduct: This includes fabrication, falsification, or plagiarism in proposing, performing, or reviewing research, or in reporting research results. Informed Consent: Failure to obtain proper informed consent from study participants can result in legal repercussions. Data Privacy and Security: Mishandling sensitive health data can lead to liability under data protection laws. Public Health Interventions: Implementing public health measures that cause harm or are perceived as unjust can also lead to liability.
