The objectives of epidemiology vary based on source, but most will be similar..I recomend looking at this CDC document
https://www.cdc.gov/publichealth101/documents/introduction-to-epidemiology.pdf
Below is how I will list the objectives
To identify the etiology of the disease.
To determine how frequent diseases occur in certain populations
To study/analyze the effectiveness of treatments or prevention measures/interventions
To study report/study the progression of diseases.
