    The document discusses different types of observational study designs used in research including descriptive studies like case reports and case series, as well as analytical studies like case-control and cohort studies. Case-control studies analyze the relationship between an exposure or independent variable and an outcome or dependent variable by comparing cases (diseased patients) to controls (people without the disease). Cohort studies measure relative risk by following groups of individuals over time to examine if exposure leads to the outcome.

    STUDY DESIGN

    TYPES:

    1. OBSERVATIONAL

    TYPES:

    A. DESCRIPTIVE STUDY DESIGN


    I. CASE REPORT (UNUSUAL FINDING)—NO MEASURES OF
    MORBIDITY OR MORTALITY
    II. Case SERIES(5-15)
    III. CROSS SECTIONAL STUDY/PREVALENCE/SURVEY---
    (PREVALENCE)

    B. ANALYTICAL STUDY DESIGN


    (Analyzing the cause and effect relationship)
    1. CASE-CONTROL:

    2. GROUPS
    A. CASE(Diseased patients)
    B. CONTROL(people without that disease)

    “Beef consumption can lead towards the development of colon


    cancer”

    Cause (exposure/independent variable)

    Outcome/dependent variable

    Measure: Odds Ratio


    3. COHORT STUDY DESIGN

    CASE

    CONTROL

    “The individuals who consume beef can develop colon cancer in later
    stages of their lives”

    Measure: Relative Risk
