Study Design: Observational Studies

Indian Pediatrics, 2022
Observational study designs are those where the investigator/researcher just observes and does not carry out any intervention(s)/actions to alter the outcome. The three most common types of observational studies are cross-sectional, case control and cohort (or longitudinal). In cross-sectional studies, both the exposure/risk factor(s) and the outcome(s)
