Sources are fundamental in epidemiology because they provide the data needed to:
- Identify Disease Patterns: Understanding the distribution and determinants of diseases in populations. - Evaluate Public Health Interventions: Assessing the effectiveness of health policies and interventions. - Predict Future Trends: Using historical data to forecast future health trends and potential outbreaks. - Inform Policy Decisions: Providing evidence-based data to guide public health policy and resource allocation.
