approaches to group-based analytical studies Correct Answers
-cohort method: examines individuals who share a particular
characteristic; prospective or retrospective
-case-control: compares groups with disease to group without;
commonly retrospective
-cross-sectional: group is randomly selected, compares disease
and no disease at a point in time; looks for associations of
measurable variables (s) and the disease

classification of disease Correct Answers -WHO's
international classification of diseases (IDC) is used globally to
classify and monitor diseases
-diseases can be: infectious, communicable, iatrogenic,
nosocomial, zoonotic, non-communicable, and non-infectious
