,Definition 3 of 46
Randomized controlled trial: (RCT) A study in which people are allocated at random (by
chance alone) to receive one of several clinical interventions. One of these interventions is the
standard of comparison or control. The control may be a standard practice, a placebo ("sugar
pill"), or no intervention at all.
A case-control study is a type of observational study commonly used to look at factors
associated with diseases or outcomes. The case-control study starts with a group of cases,
which are the individuals who have the outcome of interest. Then, a control group is selected
that does not have the outcome of interest. The two groups are then compared to identify
factors that may be associated with the outcome
A cohort study is a type of observational study that follows a group of participants over a
period of time, examining how certain factors (like exposure to a given risk factor) affect their
health outcomes. The individuals in the cohort have a characteristic or lived experience in
common, such as birth year or geographic area
Showing a casual relationship means that a change in one variable(independent variable)
causes a change in the other (dependent variable)
What prevention attempts to minimize negative effects, prevents further disease or
disorder related to complications, prevent relapse, and restore the highest physical or
psychological functioning possible?
What is different in a randomized control trial than, for instance, a case-control study (or
a cohort study)? What does it mean to show a causal relationship?
How does social justice and health inequities influence population health care
provision? Why is this critical information for the provision of evidence-based care?
What is meant by "scientific misconduct"?
