According to the World Health Organization (2018), epidemiology is the examination of the distribution and determinants of health and disease conditions in defined populations. Managerial, descriptive, and analytic epidemiology are distinct branches of epidemiology. For this discussion, compare and contrast the similarities and dissimilarities among these branches. In addition, identify which of the branches applies more to the role of a healthcare manager/administrator. Provide rationale and support for your response.
