  • should be available facilities for diagnosis and treatment of disease
  • should be manageable workload
  • early treatment should be more of a benefit than treating at a later stage

the test..

  • should be acceptable for the patients
  • intervals for repeating the test should be determined

benefits. .
- risks should be less than the benefits

describe a cohort study

A

an incidence study that looks at a group of people (target population) over time who dont have a disease. Looks at their exposure to a certain factor and sees whether or not they get the disease.

because its prospective it can show causation

A

looks at a group of people with a particular disease (case) and compares them to a control group (no disease) that is usually matched.
A retrospective study that looks at people that already have the outcomes and looks back to see if the exposure is related to the outcome

establishes the likelihood of you getting a disease if you are exposed to a certain exposure
