Questions & Answers (Grade A+)
Number of new cases over a period of time_______
Number of people initially at risk in the population -
correct answer ✅Cumulative Incidence
Cumulative incidence contains a time related element "period of
time" where as prevalence is measured "one point in time"
What type of bias occurs when there is a factor associated with
exposure and outcome?
Confounding
Cofounding
Selection
Misclassification -
correct answer ✅Confounding occurs when there is a factor that is
associated with both the exposure and outcome and thus interferes
with measuring the true association between the exposure and
outcome.
Confounding can be accounted for by restricting the study
population by matching cases and control subjects with potential

confounders or by stratifying or adjusting for potential confounders
in the analysis.
Charts that use SEER data to present the chances of dying from the
most-common causes of death are called:
SEER*Stat
Interactive Risk
CanStat
Survival Reports -
correct answer ✅Using the SEER database, NCI researchers
developed interactive risk charts to contextualize cancer for
multiple demographic variables. These charts present the chances
of dying - expressed in ten-year intervals - from the most-common
causes of deaths that are frequently discussed in the media.

correct answer ✅A.
Descriptive
The International Association of Cancer Registries (IACR) and the
International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) publish the
Cancer Incidence in Five Continents (CI5) which presents
comparable data on cancer incidence for all countries around the
world
The CI5 data set is used for descriptive research which is typically
restricted to a simple depiction of the frequency (incidence and
prevalence) and distribution of a disease within a population.

Observational epidemiological studies can be further subdivided
into cohort studies (follow-up studies), case control studies, cross-
sectional studies (prevalence studies), and ecological studies
(correlation studies or studies with aggregated data).
