A cross-sectional study was conducted on the association between passive smoke inhalation and the occurrence of dental caries in
children. (Passive smoke exposure occurs when children live with family members who smoke). The investigators thought that conclusions from this study were limited because of the cross-sectional nature of the data. Suppose that they asked you for advice and you told them that they should have conducted a prospective cohort study because it is a better study design. Which type of cohort is the best for this situation?A. Special cohortB. Case cohortC. General cohortD. Experimental cohort
The correct answer to the following question will be Option C (General cohort).
Explanation:
A bunch of individuals with a quantitative variable (including such maturity or organization leaders) specific to something like a cohort of premedical graduates in a longitudinal survey.
A general cohort of samples seems to be designed for specific experiences including such genetic components including certain vitamin utilization, oral contraceptive utilization, as well as habits like cigarettes excessive alcohol consumption.
The other three choices are not related to the given circumstances. So that Option C seems to be the right answer.
