IUPUI Experimental Study Design Observational Study Design Alcohol Consumption

 

Epidemiology is driven by data and usually relies on the collection of
information and the analysis and interpretation of that information.
Researchers in epidemiology are interested in the constant measurement or
assessment of the relationship between exposure and disease/outcome. The study
designs can be classified as observational or experimental depending on the
approach used to assess the association between exposure and outcome.

For the Case Study, research and describe one experimental study
design and one observational study design, and provide at least one example of
how each design can be used in a research intervention.

Explain how one of these studies can be applied to one of the health
problems you identified in your community in the Unit I Case Study. Provide a
statistical table of the health problem you previously identified in your
community (prevalence, incidence, mortality rates, and morbidity rates). This
information is usually found in the local departments of health websites.
Explain whether the health problem in your community is an endemic, epidemic,
or pandemic.

Your case study must be a minimum of three pages in length, excluding the
title and reference pages. To support your ideas, use a minimum of three
outside sources; one may be the textbook. Additionally, use a source that
focuses on your community, such as a newspaper or journal article.
