What is the Role of Epidemiology in Health Interventions?
Epidemiology plays a crucial role at every stage of health intervention:
- Surveillance and Data Collection: Epidemiologists collect and analyze data to understand disease patterns and risk factors. - Risk Assessment: They assess the risk factors associated with health problems to target interventions effectively. - Program Design and Implementation: Epidemiological evidence guides the design and implementation of interventions. - Evaluation and Feedback: Continuous evaluation ensures that interventions are effective and efficient.
