Assessing public health risks is essential for several reasons:
Prevention: Identifying risks allows for the development of preventative measures to reduce the incidence of diseases. Resource Allocation: Understanding risks helps allocate resources effectively to areas with the greatest need. Policy Making: Data on public health risks guide policymakers in creating regulations and guidelines to protect public health. Community Awareness: Educating the public about risks can lead to behavior changes that improve health outcomes.
