What Methods Are Used to Study Environmental Health in Epidemiology?
Several methods are used in environmental health epidemiology, including observational studies (cohort, case-control, and cross-sectional studies), experimental studies, and ecological studies. These methods help researchers identify associations between exposures and health outcomes, control for confounding factors, and establish causality. Advanced techniques like geographic information systems (GIS) and biomonitoring are also used to assess exposure levels and their impact.
