Study Notes

RGE IMAGE Approach

Prospective or Retrospective Cohort studies compare the development (incidence) of disease in exposed and unexposed groups over time.
Longitudinal Cohort Studies follow a representative sample of a population over time to observe the development of various diseases associated with various exposures.
The primary question explored in both types of cohort studies is the relationship between exposure and increased disease incidence.
Prospective cohort studies require participants to be free of the disease at the study's start, with the exposure being uncommon but accessible.
Longitudinal cohort studies necessitate a representative population sample that is available for follow-up over extended periods, as this design is suitable for examining multiple exposures and outcomes.
Both cohort study approaches require adequate resources (time and finances) for successful implementation.
A critical requirement for prospective cohort studies is the availability of individuals with the exposure of interest.
