Prevalence, Incidence, Odds Ratio, or Efficacy?
This is the key statistical measure of an experimental study.
What is efficacy?

What is cross sectional?
A cohort study always looks this way in time.

What is an experimental study?

What is secondary research?

What is incidence?
If you wanted to look back in time to see if there is an association between an exposure and an outcome, you would use this type of study.
What is case-control?
This type of study compares exposure histories in people with a disease to people without a disease.
What is Case-Control?
IRB stands for this.
What is Institutional Review Board?
These study types can describe association, but cannot determine causality.
What are cross sectional, case-control, and cohort studies?
What is odds ratio?
If you had a population without disease and followed them forward in time to see if they developed a disease as a result of an exposure, you would be doing this type of study.
What is a prospective cohort study?
This type of study is sometimes called a prevalence study.
What is a cross-sectional study?
The function of this committee is to protect human study participants, prevent researchers from causing harm, and protect institutions from liability.
What is the IRB?
A systematic flaw in design, conduct, or analysis of a study that can cause results not to accurately reflect the truth about a situation.
What is Bias?
Do not include individuals who already have the disease or condition you are studying at the beginning of your study in the calculation of this statistical measure.
What is incidence?
If you wanted to find out if a medication had any effect on a disease outcome, you would do this type of study.
What is an experimental study?
This variable is sometimes called the manipulated variable or the intervention.
What is the independent variable?
Data from unethical experiments in the past have all been deleted and are never used for further research and development.
What is false?
This type of assignment is used to distribute individuals into experimental and control groups.
What is random assignment?
