Evaluate, using examples, the benefits of engaging in an epidemiological study
Evaluate, using examples, the benefits of engaging in an epidemiological study
Benefits of epidemiological study:
- Measuring the degree to which different risk factors are present in the crisis-affected community, and the degree to which populations benefit from interventions to minimise these risk factors.
- Monitoring trends in the occurrence of specific diseases over time and identifying emergent threats in a timely fashion. For example, studies can be conducted in specific geographical locations where a number of people become affected with certain diseases.
- Discovering the agent, host and environmental factor that affect community health to provide scientific basis for prevention of disease and injury including health promotion.
- Identifying at risk population at greater risk of specific diseases.
- To evaluate effectiveness of health programmes and services.
