What Are the Challenges in Collecting Accurate Incidence Data?
One of the primary challenges in collecting accurate incidence data is underreporting. Many toxic exposures may go unreported due to lack of symptoms, misdiagnosis, or stigma. Additionally, inconsistencies in data collection methods across different regions and healthcare systems can lead to discrepancies in incidence rates. Efforts to standardize data reporting and improve surveillance systems are crucial in overcoming these challenges.
