Cross-Sectional & Ecological Studies

This lesson is part of Premium

Cross-sectional (survey/snapshot): measures prevalence, associations at one time; can't establish causation/temporality; good for prevalence & planning. Ecological: population-level data; ecological fallacy (group→individual inference error). Case series/case reports at the bottom — hypothesis-generating. Brief qualitative research mention (themes, not numbers).
