Name BROAD types of studies
Descriptive Relational Causal
45
List types of studies
Experimental Observational Cohort-retrospective or Prospectdale Case-control Cross-sectional-main limitation-exposure at one point in time-you can't ascertain causality Ecological-big data sets, population data not individual
46
Describe a cross-sectional study and indicate it's main limitation
Exposure at one point in time and you can't ascertain causality
47
Which study design is best for identifying long term effects of a rare exposure
Cohort studies are good for where exposures-give you information about the nature of the disease
48
Which study design is best for identifying the short-term health effects of the new exposure about which Little is known?
cohort

cohort study description
A study in which subsets of a defined population can be identified that are, have been, or may in the future be exposed, or not exposed, to a factor that is thought to influence the probability of occurrence of a given disease or other outcome.
60
describe case control study
A study that starts with the identification of individuals with the disease (or other outcome variable) of interest, and a suitable control group of individuals without the disease. The diseased group are called cases and the non-diseased group are called controls. Cases and controls are compared with respect to the occurrence of the exposure of interest.
61
describe cross sectional study
In a cross-sectional study, the frequency of a particular exposure(s) and / or outcome(s) in a defined population is measured at a particular point in time.
62
Medical focas in this nation has been on tx "temporally proximate" what does this mean?
treating symptoms (giving pain meds for ha)
63
what is meant by life course perspective in health care?
focusing on potential long-term health impacts of experiences, exposures, and behaviors over individuals entire life span (thinking about things like how do childhood/adolescent experiences impact reproductive health in 20's, 30's, 40's) --studies have attempted to link birth weight to adult outcomes
64
explain the principle of timing
health is shaped not only by what happens to us BUT also by when it happens, how long it lasts, and in what order it occurs ex. . impact of childbearing on female educational attainment is influenced by mothers age at the time of birth ex. .. consequences of family instability in a childs life depends on age of child at onset of such instability

highlights how period, cohort and contextual factors influence the life course ex...Great depression, great recession, economic stress w/i household
67
what are the 3 key components in life course theory?
Trajectories - dynamic descriptors of health that describe a substantial period of the life span (can capture a long-term picture of a persons health) Transitions - embedded w/i trajectories take place w/i a relatively brief time frame (onset of parenthood) Turning Points - a redirection of the life course through chugs in situation meaning or behavior (ex..transition to parenthood)
68
explain the overall concepts of life course epidemiology
the idea that the body records all life experiences and tells a story of one's past and that of the preceding generation (in order to understand health in the present we must consider experiences that may have occurred years, decades, generations earlier)
69
explain: latency, cumulative, pathway
Latency - biological chain of risk Cumulative - accumulation of risk (ex...multiple risk factors like pregnant woman smoking and drinking) pathway - social chains of risk (social trajectories) ex..adolescence STIs or drinking and driving
