What are the key tasks involved in universal interventions? Why is epidemiological research particularly important to these efforts?
What will be an ideal response?
Universal interventions focus on altering conditions that can cause or contribute to mental disorders (risk factors) and establishing conditions that foster positive mental health (protective factors). Epidemiological research supplies data on the incidence and prevalence of various disorders and the populations that are most affected. Equipped with this information, those who design universal interventions know where to look and what to look for.
