Study Notes
- A cohort study is a study that follows a group of people who share a common characteristic or experience.
- A cohort study can be used to find multiple outcomes from a single exposure.
- A retrospective cohort study is a study that is conducted at the time that the exposure occurs, and the potential outcome has already occurred in the past.
- A prospective cohort study is a study that is conducted when the exposure is rare and the outcome is common.
- A risk study is a calculation that quantifies the probability of experiencing an outcome in a given population.
- A descriptive study is a study that describes the key facts from a study.
- An analytic study is a study that calculates the risk of an outcome in a given population.
