Targeted interventions are crucial in epidemiology for several reasons:
1. Efficiency: Resources are often limited, and targeted interventions allow for the optimal use of available resources by focusing on groups that are at the highest risk. 2. Effectiveness: By concentrating efforts on high-risk populations, targeted interventions can achieve more significant health impacts. 3. Equity: These interventions can help reduce health disparities by providing necessary resources and support to vulnerable groups who might otherwise be neglected.
