What is the Impact of Epidemiology on Public Health Policies?
Epidemiological data significantly influence public health policies. For instance, the response to the COVID-19 pandemic was guided by epidemiological models predicting the spread of the virus and the impact of various interventions. Policies on social distancing, quarantine, and vaccination were informed by these models. Similarly, epidemiological studies on air pollution have led to stricter regulations to protect public health.
