Epidemiology

Epidemiology is the study of disease patterns, determinants, and distribution within populations to inform public health policies and interventions. It employs rigorous methods to investigate disease outbreaks, risk factors, and health disparities across diverse populations. Epidemiological research encompasses study designs such as cohort studies, case-control studies, and meta-analyses to generate evidence for disease prevention, health promotion, and healthcare planning. Applications include identifying disease trends, assessing the impact of interventions, developing vaccination strategies, and implementing screening programs to reduce disease burden and improve population health outcomes.
