Relating to the advantages and disadvantages of the above study designs:
* Recall bias is a systematic error which occurs when the person could not recognize the previous incidents or experiences or omit some details from the incidents. The accuracy of information depends on the events followed by it.
* Selection bias : Selection bias resulted by selection of population for study in which proper randomization is not achieved and it leads to systematic errors in the outcome.
*Loss to follow up occurs when the reasearchers are failed to maintain contact with the persons involved in a study trial or due to the migration of the participants which eventually results in the termination of study before the preferred endpoint.
*STUDIES TYPE OF BIAS
• Retrospective study • Self selection bias
• Screening test study •Screening bias
•Observation study •Observer bias

2. Which two study designs are best suited for establishing temporality? | 3. In the first of two steps to determining causal inference, epidemiologists must determine is an association is free of bias, confounding, and random error. a) What is confounding and explain which epidemiological study design is best for controlling confounding, b) In studies in which random assignment is not possible, how might blas due to a known confounder be minimized. Describe four methods. c) What is selection bias...
Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the following nonexperimental designs: naturalistic observations phenomenological studies case studies archival studies If you were asked to use one of these designs in a study next week, which nonexperimental design would you select and why?
Which statements are true, and which are false? Explain. Tor F Recall bias always results in an underestimate of the magnitude of association. Tor F Prospective cohort studies are prone to recall bias. Tor F Interviewer bias can produce either an over-estimate or under-estimate of the magnitude of association. Tor F Significant loss to follow up can cause an over-estimate or under-estimate of the magnitude of association in a prospective cohort study. Tor F Case-control studies are vulnerable to bias...
