Types of Observational Study Designs to discuss in Document attached

Description

You are being asked to compare and contrast two of the four observational study designs that we discussed during class the week of May 23rd. Different types of cohort studies (e.g. prospective versus retrospective) or case-control (e.g. case-control versus nested case control) cannot be compared or contrasted, it must be two distinct study types (example: case-control versus cohort).

You should assume that your audience has no prior knowledge of the subject matter. Therefore, you must define any terms that you use for a lay audience. Essentially, if it was defined in this class for you, then you will have to define it for someone else.

In order to get full marks, you must come up with three ways that the two study designs that you selected are similar, and three ways that the two study designs you selected are different. You can chose creative ways to present this information such as using a Venn diagram or table, but you cannot exceed 1 page and must be a PDF.
