ANSWER :
* ADVANTAGES OF CASE CONTROL STUDY :
- Case control study is beneficial in studying of human population
- They are time consuming and low cost
- They are useful for study of rare diseases
DISADVANTAGES OF CASE CONTROL STUDY :
- They are based on selection bias
- They do not calculate incidence rates
- Inefficient for rare exposures
* ADVANTAGES OF RANDOMIZED CLINICAL TRIAL :
- Obtained results are analyzed with known tools
- Participating individuals are identified clearly
- They act as a good randomization
DISADVANTAGES OF RANDOMIZED CLINICAL TRIAL :
- They are very expensive
- Population participation will not be whole all the time
- Lack of follow up to treatment

6. (3 pts) A randomized clinical trial was conducted in Indonesia to study the effects of Vitamin A in preventing deaths among children with measles. The investigators reported a relative risk of 0.60 for the intervention versus control group. This means that A) Children receiving Vitamin A were 40% less likely to die from measles than children receiving placebo, therefore Vitamin A was protective B) The chance of dying from measles in the placebo group was 60% C) 60% of...
A multicenter double-blind randomized study was carried out to compare the effect of drug X with that of a placebo in patients surviving acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Treatment with the drug started 7 days after infarction in 1,884 patients, 52% of all persons who were evaluated for entry into the study. 945 participants were randomized to treatment with drug X while 939 were assigned to the placebo group. Patients were then followed for 12 months for reinfarction. There were 152...
