Reference no: EM133678100

Assignment:

One thing I want to know more about is when to use prevalence and incidence. I know that prevalence studies are useful in describing the health burden of a population. The text mentioned how prevalence studies can help determine the allocation of resources and estimate the frequency of exposure in a population. Incidence is useful for measuring the risk of a specified health-related event. To understand the usefulness of both prevalence and incidence, I need more scenarios presented with prevalence or incidence used to understand which works best for what scenario.
