CROSS SECTIONAL STUDY

EX: measure CURRENT obesity levels in a population, we could draw a sample of 1,000 people randomly from that population (also known as a cross section of that population), measure their weight and height, and calculate what percentage of that sample is categorized as obese

match 2 terms

incidence
prevalence
Cohort
cross sectional

A

PREVELANCE. (cross sectional study). *****

17
Q

The rate of new cases of disease occurring in specific population over time

match 2 terms

prevalence
incidence
Cohort
Cross Sectional

A

Incidence ( Cohort) **

18
Q

The degree to which a measurement represents the true value of something

match 2 terms

validity
reliability
accuracy
precision

A

Validity (accuracy)

19
Q

degree of resemblance among study results, were the study to be repeated under similar circumstances. How constant and close repetitive measures are

validity
reliability
accuracy
precision

A

Reliability (precision)

20
Q

if P< .05 what do you do to null hypothesis? is it statisticully significant or non-significant

A

reject null
statistically significant
more likely relationship exists

researcher basically agrees with the one who made the test and determines that they are right !

21
Q

if P> .05 what do you do to null hypothesis? is it statistically significant or non-significant

A

accept null : not significant

less likely relationship exists

researcher basically disagrees with the one who made the test and determines that were ring, hence accepts null !

22
Q

type 1 error is what type of issue?

negative or positive T or F

A

Type 1: FP

type 2: FN
