Targeting high risk populations allows public health professionals to:
Prevent Disease Spread: By identifying and managing cases early in high risk groups, the spread to the wider population can be reduced. Efficient Resource Allocation: Resources such as vaccines, medications, and educational programs can be directed where they are most needed. Improve Health Outcomes: Tailoring interventions to high risk groups can lead to better health outcomes and reduced healthcare costs. Equity and Justice: Addressing the needs of high risk populations helps to reduce health disparities and promote social justice.
