The epidemiological assessment focuses on identifying and understanding health-related issues within specific populations. By determining which health problems are most pressing for groups in the community, this assessment can effectively inform public health strategies and resource allocation. It considers the various factors that affect health, including socioeconomic status, environment, and access to care, ensuring that interventions are tailored to meet the unique needs of those groups.

This helps to ensure that the health interventions and policies developed are relevant and effective, ultimately aiming to improve health outcomes for the targeted groups.
