1.17 - Overview of Research Study Design Flashcards
This type of study allows natural process to take place without any intervention
Observational study
What are the two types of epidemiological studies?
Observational and experimental
True or False: Descriptive studies are limited to a description of an event or occurence of a disease condition.
True
In this observational study, people or groups or people are followed up over a period of time.
Cohort study
A type of observational study in which all measurements or observations are done once.
Cross-sectional study
A type of observational study that compares the exposure variables between disease and non-disease.
Case-control study
Cohort studies are:
a. descriptive
b. experimental
c. analytical
d. A and C
d. A and C
True or False: Experimental design can be re-designed in cohort studies.
True
What are disadvantages of cohort studies?
Expensive and time-consuming
For rare diseases, what is the ideal study design?
Case-control studies
The problem of causality is most problematic for what type of observational study?
Cross-sectional study
In case-control studies, the population with the disease constitutes the __________, while the population without the disease are the __________.
Cases, controls
True or False: Case-control studies have a time reference, while cross-sectional studies do not have a time reference.
True
In this type of observational study, measurement of exposure is done by inquiry and looking backward in time.
Case-control study
A type of research that employs both quantitative and qualitative research design.
Mixed research
A qualitative research strategy in which the researcher explores in depth an event, activity or process in one or more individuals, combining several data collection procedures done over a sustained period of time.
Case study
True or False: Case-control studies are not susceptible to bias.
False
In this mixed research strategy, qualitative and quantitative data are simultaneously collected and merged into an integrated information.
Concurrent mix
In this mixed research method, the researcher expand on the findings of one method with another.
Sequential
Which of the following is not essential to mention in the data analysis process?
a. population
b. measurement
c. study design
d. none of the above
d. none of the above
A type of quantitative data that is ranked and ordered.
Ordinal
A form of research which focuses on translating research into policies.
Translational research
In this form of research, programs are evaluated according to their manner of execution or impact.
Implementation research
