Consider a cohort study in which exposed and non-exposed persons
are followed for a certain period of time. Data from this study
hypothetical study are given below:What is the relative risk for
the effect of exposure to the factor on the disease? Answer correct
to two places past the decimal.

A hypothetical cohort study of pesticide exposure and cancer followed exposed pesticide workers and a comparison group of non-exposed employees of the same company over a 30-year period. Researchers found that the incidence of cancer among exposed workers was 55.3 per 1,000. In the comparison cohort not exposed to pesticides, the incidence of cancer was 15.7 per 1000. Calculate the relative and attributable risks of exposure to pesticides and development of cancer.
6,750 people who were free of disease X were enrolled in a cohort study in 1985 and followed with annual exams and interviews through 1995. Exposure to factor A was determined at study enrollment and the participants were followed until 1995 to observe new cases of disease X. Data from the study at the end of follow-up are shown in the following table. What is the incidence rate of disease X among persons exposed to factor A? Exposure to Factor...
Epidemiology Question 7 When an individual has the disease then they were definitely exposed to the Factor A but if exposed to Factor A this disease sometimes develops. Factor A is: A necessary, but not sufficient, cause A sufficient, but not necessary, cause A necessary and sufficient cause Neither necessary not sufficient Question 8 When an individual is exposed to Factor A this disease always develops and if there is an absence of Factor A the disease will not develop....
In an industry employing 10,000 people, 2500 were employed in areas where they were exposed to pesticides, while the remaining 7500 were not exposed. At the beginning of the study, all employees were free of disease. The entire population of 10,000 was followed for 10 years to determine whether exposure to pesticides increased the risk of developing a particular disease. For this disease, the findings were present in the following table: The results of a hypothetical study of the effects...
Which of the following is an example of an observational cohort study that might be used to assess the association between agent X and disease Y? (Select one) a. A group of individuals exposed to agent X are recruited in 1995 and followed until 2004 at which time they are tested for the presence of disease Y. b. A group of individuals with disease Y and without disease Y are recruited and interviewed about exposure to agent X in 2004....
Part 3:1dentify the following features with appropriate study design: ...Case-control study 1 b. Cohort study Categorize subjects on the basis of exposure and then follow up to see if they develop the health condition we are studying. 1. Generally used to explore rare diseases. Useful for exploring several risk factors for a given outcome. After some time compare the disease rate for the exposed with that of the unexposed. Generally used when the exposure is rare. 1 Useful when there...

Question 2 Consider the results of a prospective cohort study following a group of quarry employees working in an asbestos mine shown in Table .The researchers want to know if asbestos is a risk factor for lung cancer. The employees were broken into two groups. The exposed group consisted of miners who were exposed to high levels of asbestos on a day to day basis. The unexposed group consisted of quarry administrators, office workers, drivers and maintenance...

Person-Years at Risk and Incidence Density Person-Years at Risk sum of the amount of time a participant is at risk for the outcome in a study. (# persons x at risk for 1 year + # persons x at risk for 2 years + # persons x at risk for 3 years, etc.) Incidence Density (IDL- new cases of disease or mortality in persons at risk/person-time at risk. Incidence Density in Not Exposed (IDE) Person-time at risk Incidence Density in...
A group of graduate students completed a cohort study that followed 785 drivers for a period of one year to explore the relationship between texting while driving and motor vehicle accidents. Three hundred thirty (330) of the drivers texted while driving in the past year. Four hundred fifty-five drivers did not text while driving during the same time. Thirty (30) motor vehicle accidents occurred in the texting group, and 5 motor vehicle accidents occurred in the non-texting group. Set up...
