Evidence-based Research - answer✔Description of medical techniques or practices that are

Prospective v. Retrospective - answer✔Pro - Studies designed to look forward.
Retro - Studies that look at events that have occurred in the past.
Types of Medical Research - answer✔Case Studies, Cohort, Randomized Controlled Trials
(RCTs), Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis.
