- 2. A key feature of a cross-sectional study is that:
- a. It usually provides information on prevalence rather than incidence
- b. It is limited to health exposure and behaviors rather than health outcomes
- c. It is more useful for descriptive epidemiology than it is for analytic epidemiology
Homework Answers

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...
