Several factors can contribute to the lack of engagement in epidemiology:
1. Mistrust in Science: A growing mistrust in scientific research and healthcare institutions can lead to disengagement. 2. Lack of Awareness: Many people are not aware of how epidemiological studies work and their importance. 3. Complexity of Information: Epidemiological data and findings can be complex and difficult for the general public to understand. 4. Cultural Barriers: Cultural differences can affect how people perceive and engage with epidemiological research. 5. Resource Constraints: Limited resources can hinder efforts to engage with communities effectively.
