1. Policy Making: Public health policies and interventions rely heavily on epidemiological evidence. Trustworthy research ensures that these policies are based on accurate and reliable information. 2. Public Trust: Trustworthy research fosters public confidence in health recommendations and interventions, which is crucial for compliance and effectiveness. 3. Scientific Progress: Reliable research findings contribute to the body of scientific knowledge and help guide future research endeavors.
