Question

Match the type of epidemiology/study with the example

This type of study is the strongest at proving or disproving association and allows the researcher to control exposure to cases and controls.

Examples of this type of a study include BRFSS, NHANES, PRAMS.

This is (or these are) not a study but a form of epidemiology that includes analyzing rates, proportions, and ratios.

This type of study is (or these types of studies are) most often used with testing a null hypothesis for an outbreak since you know the outcome/disease and who are the cases.

This is (or these are) the weakest study but can be the start to further testing the association between a risk/exposure and disease/disability/death.

type of study (or these kinds of studies) follows a group of people over a length of time to determine if certain exposures result in certain outcomes.

The Framingham Study is an example of this kind of study (or these kinds of studies). James Lind performed this kind of study (or these kinds of studies) that identified lemons and oranges were protective against scurvy.

Jane Lane-Clayton used this type of method to study breastfeeding.

She had one group breast-fed and the other fed with cow’s milk. Using statistics, she showed that the babies that were breast-fed gained weight faster than the other category.

A. Case Control Study B. Ecological Study C. Experimental Study D. Descriptive Epidemiology E. Cross-Sectional Study F. Cohort Study
