Follow-up: logistics, losses 2 &. Many subjects needed for rare disease e. Exposure can change over time 3 4 Prospective: time-consuming, costly, observation can influence behaviors. 5 Retrospective: requires suitable records.. Changes in practice, usage, exposures may make findings irrelevant 6 COHORT STUDY: ISSUES Is exposure unchanging throughout the period of follow-up?
