Mass screening is crucial in the field of epidemiology for several reasons:
Early Detection: Identifying diseases at an early stage can significantly improve treatment outcomes and survival rates. Prevention: Early identification of risk factors can lead to interventions that prevent the progression of disease. Control of Epidemics: Screening can help control the spread of infectious diseases by isolating cases and treating them promptly. Data Collection: Screening programs provide valuable data that can be used for research and policy-making.
