The primary reasons for conducting targeted studies include:
1. Identifying Risk Factors: Understanding what increases the risk of health outcomes in specific populations. 2. Assessing Disease Burden: Determining the prevalence and incidence of diseases within defined groups. 3. Evaluating Interventions: Testing the efficacy and safety of health interventions tailored to particular populations. 4. Informing Public Health Policies: Providing data to guide policy decisions and resource allocation.
