Question 3

cross-sectional

Answer 3

is a type of observational study that analyses data collected from a population, or a representative subset, at a specific point in time—that is, cross-sectional data

Question 4

randomized clinical trial

Answer 4

A study in which people are allocated at random (by chance alone) to receive one of several clinical interventions. One of these interventions is the standard of comparison or control

Question 5

case control study

Answer 5

A study that compares patients who have a disease or outcome of interest (cases) with patients who do not have the disease or outcome (controls), and looks back retrospectively to compare how frequently the exposure to a risk factor is present in each group to determine the relationship between the risk factor

Question 6

Biological gradient

Answer 6

In traditional epidemiology, a monotonic biological gradient, wherein increased exposure resulted in increased incidence of disease, provides the clearest evidence of a causal relationship (causal)

Question 7

Coherent and plausible

Answer 7

Plausibility has historically been judged based on the presence of existing biological or social models that explain the association of interest. the cause-and-e ect story should make sense with all knowledge available to the researcher, and this criterion has not changed greatly since its inception.

Question 8

The GPAQ sorts physical activity in to which domains?

Answer 8

• Activity at Work
• Travel to and from places
• Recreational activities

Question 9

Evaluation of nutritional status of individuals or populations. Dietary screenings

Answer 9

Nutrition Assessment

Question 10

Strength of Association

Answer 10

assessing strength of association in causal inference requires examination of underlying methods, compari- son to the weight of evidence in the literature, and con- sideration of other contextual factors including the other criteria discussed herein. (the larger the association the more likely it is to be causal)

Question 11

Consistency

Answer 11

Happens when multiple epidemiologic studies uphold the same findings (can be consistent but not correct)
