Type of Study. Determine whether the following studies are observational studies or experiments. If the study is an experiment, identify the control and treatment groups, and discuss whether single-or double-blinding is necessary. If the study is observational, state whether it is a case-control study, and if so, identify the cases and controls.

A National Cancer Institute study of 716 melanoma patients and 1014 cancer-free patients matched by age, sex, and race found that those having a single large mole had twice the risk of melanoma. Having 10 or more moles was associated with a 12 times greater risk of melanoma (Journal of the American Medical Association ).
