Abstract:
Public health is a goal that is carried out via societal action and describes the relationship between health or disease in human populations and other elements associated to health, such as human infections. Epidemiology is a basic science. A large portion of the data needed by public health practitioners to create, administer, and assess successful intervention programs for disease prevention and health promotion has been generated through epidemiology. By recognizing when and how to creatively apply the many epidemiological tactics to address particular health challenges, it is a philosophy and methodology that may be used to understand and address a very broad spectrum of health problems. Understanding the various study designs and statistical procedures is not enough for an epidemiological investigation; implementation is crucial. To demonstrate and emphasize the fact that understanding study designs and epidemiological methodologies alone is not enough to successfully use epidemiology, the uses and limits of the various epidemiological study designs are discussed. If these designs and approaches are to produce the desired results, they must be used properly, imaginatively, and ingeniously. The need to make public health judgments in the midst of scientific uncertainty and the possibility that epidemiologic certainty might not give public health action a clear direction. Public health professionals should focus on resolving issues that directly affect public health decisions instead of criticizing epidemiology for failing to address significant public health challenges. Over the past three decades, the subject of epidemiology has grown significantly as researchers have found novel applications for established study designs and methodologies. As more and more inventive epidemiologists create cutting-edge new strategies and procedures, it is projected that the field of epidemiology will broaden even further in the future.
