disease control
deals with populations
relative risk (RR) =
incidence of disease in exposed group/incidence of disease in unexposed group

cross sectional study - explain
observations made at a single point in time
provides results quickly
case control study - explain
2 groups
1 group - have the disease (Cases)
1 group = do not (controls)
compare groups - assess previous exposures - and try to determine RFs
cohort study - explain
baseline data on exposure collected from a group WHO DO NOT HAVE THE DISEASE
group followed for a time - until sufficient number have developed the disease to allow analysis
RCTs explain
definitive method of assessing any new tx (commonly unable to get ethical approval - not ethical)
