Experimental Studies
What are clinical trials?
Type of cohort study that begins and follows participants into the future.
In this study design, it is those individuals who are characterized as having the disease.
This leads to false association between exposure and disease that arises from chance.
What is random error?
This is the tallest grass in the world:
What is bamboo?
A process which assigns individual study participants to into two groups that are exactly the same, but one group gets the treatment, and the other does not.
What is randomization?
Type of study that takes data from the past to study disease incidence in current times.
What is retrospective cohort study?
Those who do not have the disease in this type of study design are termed:
What are controls?
The mixing of effects between an exposure, an outcome, and a third variable.
What is confounding?
This city was the original capital of the United States:
What is Philadelphia?
A strategy used so the investigator is unaware of the participant's treatment assignment.
What is masking?
This type of cohort investigates unusual or rare exposures in a population.
What is special cohort?
Population from which study subjects are drawn.
This is when investigators must evaluate whether the observed result is true.
What is internal validity?
She released the song, "Genie in a Bottle", in 1999:
What is Christinia Aguilera?
This involves taking the results from a study and extending those results to people who did not participate in the study.
What is generalization?
The theoretical concept in a cohort study where the ideal comparison group would consist of exactly the same individuals in the exposed group had they not been exposed.
What is the counterfactual ideal?
This is a strength of a case-control study.
What are efficient for rare diseases, efficient for diseases with long latency and induction periods, and can evaluate multiple exposures when little is known about a disease?
An error that results from procedures used to select subjects into the study or the analysis.
What is selection bias?
On August 26 1920, which Amendment was added that gave women the right to vote?
What is the 19th Amendment?
The process of obtaining participation agreement from study participants.
What is informed consent?
This type of comparison group is the most comparable to the exposed group in cohort studies.
What is internal comparison group?
These are weaknesses of case-control studies:
What are inefficient for rare exposures, poor information due to retrospective nature of case-control studies, vulnerable to bias due to the retrospective nature?
Participants in an experimental or cohort study who can no longer be located or contacted by the investigator is termed this:
What are losses to follow up?
Only one of our states was ruled by kings and queens in its past. Name the state.
