Ans) a.Advantage of Ecologic studies:
- Can be easy and inexpensive
- Often rely on pre existing data
- Analysis and presentation are generally simple to understand.
- Exposures may truly be population level.
- Can generate new hypothesis for further research.
Disadvantage of Ecologic studies:
- Cannot examine casualty
- Potential and alternative explainations cannot be accounted for or tested.
- Ecological Fallacy
b.Advantage of Cross-sectional study:
- Used to prove and/or disprove assumptions.
- Not costly to perform and does not require a lot of time.
- Captures a specific point in time.
Disadvantage of Cross-sectional study:
- Not used to analyze behavior.
- Useless for determining cause and effect
- timing may not be representative
c. Advantage of cohort study:
- being tailored to collect specific exposure data and may be more complete.
Disadvantage of a prospective cohort study:
- may be the long follow-up period while waiting for events or diseases to occur.

6. Explain ecologic fallacy and its importance 7.A study to test the hypothesis that volcanic dust causes silicosis is to be tested by comparing the population of an island very close to a volcanic eruption with the population of an island not so exposed. After 5 and 10 years the incidence of silicosis will be measured and compared in both populations. This study is: a. Cross sectional b. Case-control c. Prospective cohort d. Randomized controlled

Select the advantages of cross-sectional studies compared to other types of observational studies. Choose all that apply. It takes relatively less time to conduct in comparison with longitudinal cohort studies It is relatively easy and less costly to conduct compared with cohort studies It can be useful to study many exposure and outcome (disease) relationships at the same time to generate new hypotheses. It can let us determine the temporal sequence between exposures and outcomes. It is suitable for examining...
