Classification of Study Design
Observational – Case study– Case series– Cross-sectional – Case-control– Cohort
Experimental– Clinical trial– Laboratory
Cross-sectional study
Observational / Prevalence study.Cut across the study population only
one time.– Examine sample only at one time.– To answer: what is happening now?
What is happening?
What is the male: female ratio in this hall?
How many participants had hepatitis B vaccination in this hall?
How many participants felt into sleep now?
Definition
A study design that examines the relationship / association between ONE disease or other health –related characteristics and other MANY variables in ONE defined population at ONE particular time.
NOT for cause-effect or risk factors!
Condition
Study a disease or health problem– Description of affected population.– Associated causal and protective factors
present.– Magnitude or severity for control and
prevention program evaluation (may change health policy).
Randomization in sampling method.
Population Description
Disease distribution– Who (age, gender, ethnic group,
social class, occupation)?– When?– Where?
Age
Age or certain age groups.– Extreme age: morbidity mortality– Age: cumulative exposure (diet,
smoking, occupation, behaviour).– Extreme age: immune / hormone
E.g.: Malaria according to age
StateNumber of Malaria according to age group (year)

Description
When?– Air pollution (haze episodes).– Industrial accidents (explosion, chemical
spill).– Disaster (earth quake, drought, flood).– Recession (infrastructure, budget,
programme).
Description
Where?– Housing area (urban / rural / hostel).– Local area (district / mukim / kampung).– Topography (mountain, river).– Political geography (nation / state
/mukim / kampung)
What data are available?
Questionnaire (demography, associated factors, severity) – need validation.
Medical records.Physical examination.Laboratory investigation (blood, urine,
ultrasound, rapid test kits, X-ray, ECG).
What related factors - confounders?
Predisposing factors– Premorbid health problem.
Enabling factors– Poor nutrition, income, medical care.
Precipitating factors– Excess exposure to other risks.
Reinforcing factors– Repeated exposure to the agents.
How?
Sampling methods and techniques– Multi stage.– Stratified random sampling.– Simple random sampling.– Purposive.– Convenience.
Statistical output
Descriptive result– Percentages, ratio, population rate.– Prevalence rate (cross-sectional study output) = P.
Analytical result– Chi-square.– t-test.– ANOVA.– Correlation.– Linear regression.
Prevalence Rate
Rate / percentage of the disease in a population at a point of time.
Prevalence rate =
No. of all cases
at a period in timeX 100
Total population during that time
Factors influence the prevalence rate
Increase – Addition of new events (+)– Immigration of cases (+)– Emigration of healthy persons (-)– Longer life span among cases (+)– Less death among cases (+)
