A

Ecologic Study

175
Q

This method seeks a possible causal factor of a disease. The factor in
consideration is one whose frequency varies in relation to the frequency of the disease of interest. It’s
based on the observation that, “If the frequency of a disease is markedly different under separate
circumstances, and some factor can be identified in one circumstance that is absent in the other, this
factor may be a cause of the disease.”

A

Method of Difference

Q

This method utilizes the concept of a “common denominator” among people with the disease. The key insight is, “If a factor is common to a number of different circumstances that have
been found to be associated with the presence of the disease, this factor may be a cause of the
disease.”
