Types of study designs
1. Ecologic
2. Cross - Sectional
3. Case-control
4. Cohort
Ecologic
- The study group is the unit of analysis
- Fast because it uses secondary data
, - Its good because its cheap and fast
- Its bad because it may cause Ecologic Fallacy, and it has no cause and effect
relationship
- Ecologic Fallacy: aggregate lvl data does not always translate to individual lvl data.
Cross sectional
- Individual is the unit of analysis
- good because it can describe magnitude and distribution of health issue
- bad because it doesn't show Etiology
Case-Control
- The individual is the unit of analysis
- its good because its fairly cheap and short
- its bad because it can be hard to generalize the study results to the rest of the
population.
Cohort
- Individual or study group is the unit of analysis
- a group that is followed over a long period of time
- its good cause it has high efficacy of the risk - disease relationship
- its bad because its very expensive and takes a very long time
- It can be very hard to keep track of the patients.
This research design potentially has issues with coming to an incorrect
conclusion about the association between variables because they are reported at
group level instead of Individual lvl
- Ecologic
This research design can use the data to describe magnitude and distribution of a
health issue
Cross - Sectional
This research design would most likely be the most expensive and require the
longest time commitment from researchers and participants most due to the fact
that you will follow the original participants through a long period of time in order
to collect data
Cohort
Which type of research design would compare subjects that were part of an
intervention with subjects that did not receive the intervention?
case - control
This research design has a high efficacy of the risk disease relationship
cohort
which type of research design would follow the same group of subjects over a
very long period of time?
cohort
What type of Prevention?
- Primary
- Secondary
- Tertiary
A health promotion program that focuses on helping manage chronic issues such
