Answer 12

data already recorded

inquire about past events

Question 13

prospective

Answer 13

data collected after research is initiated

Question 14

Answer 14

experimental

Question 15

experimental research

Answer 15

variables are subject to manipulation by the investigator, Involves assignment to treatment status

Question 16

ie in real world settings

most rigorous experimental research design

useful only for intervention research

subjects randomly assigned (exposed to intervention or nah)

blinding of intervention

timing always prospective

Question 18

cohort studies

Answer 18

most rigorous observational research design

naturally occuring groups

subjects classified by exposure status and then followed over time for outcome

timing may be prospective or retrospective

Question 19

case-control studies

Answer 19

used when outcome is rare or unusual

subjects initially classified by outcome status’

not used for intervention or diagnosis research

useul for research about prognosis/etiology

always retrospective

Question 20

cross sectional studies

Answer 20

exposure and outcome measured at same time

useful for prevalance studies

used in dx research

timing neither prospective or retrospective

Question 21

systematic reviews

Answer 21

examine multiple primary studies addressing a specific clinical issue

powerful combined summary findings

Question 22

Answer 22

establishes efficacy or effectiveness as well as safety of an intervention
