, 1:99 = (risk/odds)
risk
odds

retrospective study comparing cases (those with outcome of interest) to controls
(similar individuals to the cases without the outcome of interest)
only evaluates one outcome (concerned with disease)
what kind of study identifies odds ratios (OR)?
case-control studies
case-control studies are best for (common/rare) diseases
cohort studies are best for (common/rare) diseases
rare
common
can case-control studies determine risk of disease?
no
"snapshot" study, most common study design, typically survey-based
cross-sectional study
review types of studies
to make generalization possible, the sample must be a representative sample;
ideally, some form of ___________ sample is used
random
the group you want to generalize to
population
ones you can actually access= study population
a list from where you can draw your sample
sampling frame
ex. electoral register, school class lists
sampling in which each individual selected from the population is chosen randomly
and entirely by chance, such that each individual has the same probability of being
