Population-based risk assessment

Population-based risk assessment is a method used to evaluate the likelihood of health problems or events occurring within a specific group of people, such as a community or demographic. It considers factors like age, lifestyle, environment, and exposure to hazards to estimate how many individuals might be affected by a particular risk. This approach helps public health officials identify priorities, allocate resources, and develop strategies to prevent or reduce health issues on a larger scale. Essentially, it assesses overall risk levels in a population to improve health outcomes for the community.
