Study Notes
Research Study Designs
- A cross-sectional study design measures individuals or groups at selected ages within a relatively short period.
- This differs from a longitudinal study, which observes the same individuals or groups repeatedly over a longer period.
- A sequential (mixed longitudinal) study combines elements of both cross-sectional and longitudinal designs.
