Discussion: Study Design
You are an Epidemiologist and were awarded a grant to conduct an epidemiological research study.
1) Pick 1 either a Food-borne Illness or Injury-Related health issue that you would like to study.
2) Choose an appropriate research design: ecological, cross-sectional, case-control, cohort, clinical or community trial, and explain why you would use the study design you chose.
3) State the research question you would like to answer.
4) Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the study design.
In addition, I recommend searching the APU Library or Google Scholar to identify a peer-reviewed study that has a similar approach to the one you propose. It may help give you some ideas for how to approach your proposed study.
