What Methods are Used in Population Health Studies?
Several methodologies are employed in population health studies, including:
- Epidemiological Studies: These studies investigate the distribution and determinants of cancer in populations. - Cohort Studies: Following a group of individuals over time to measure cancer incidence and associated factors. - Case-Control Studies: Comparing individuals with cancer (cases) to those without (controls) to identify risk factors. - Cross-Sectional Studies: Observing a specific population at a single point in time to identify the prevalence of cancer and associated factors.
