Question

I. STUDY DESIGNS IN EPIDEMIOLOGY: Answer the questions subsequently.

A. Suppose you want to determine whether pesticide-use can cause cancer to farmers, I want you to design a method using the longitudinal cohort study design. Your method must answer the following specific questions:

a. What will be your cohort groups? Define your cohorts.

b. What questions/exposures will your survey instrument contain?

c. How will you gather your data?

d. How will you interpret your data?

e. Provide a plausible causal narrative to your “theoretical data”

B. One of the most memorable epidemiologic incidents in the Philippines was the sudden food poisoning of school children in Bohol which killed 15 children while 240 others being crippled. As an epidemiologist, you are tasked to go the place and conduct an independent epidemiologic analysis using retrospective cohort study design. Design a method following this design. Your method must answer the following specific questions:

a. What will be your cohort groups? Define your cohorts.

b. What questions/exposures will your survey instrument contain?

c. How will you gather your data?

d. How will you interpret your data?

e. Provide a plausible causal narrative to your “theoretical data”

C. Choose any situation from A or B above and design a method using case control study design by answering the same specific questions.
