Preliminary findings are crucial for several reasons:
Early Detection: They can help in the early detection of disease outbreaks or emerging health issues. Resource Allocation: These findings can inform the allocation of resources, such as vaccines or medical personnel, to areas where they are needed the most. Hypothesis Generation: They provide initial data that can be used to generate hypotheses for more detailed studies. Public Health Interventions: Preliminary findings can guide immediate public health interventions to mitigate the impact of a disease.
