Word (a) Cohort Study (b) Cross-sectional Study (c) Case-control Study Definition I. Studies that are retrospective, meaning they require the researcher to look at existing records, or the subject to recall information from the past. Individuals who have certain characteristics are matched with those who don't. II. Studies that follow a group of individuals over a long period of time. Characteristics of the individuals are recorded and some individuals will be exposed to certain factors (not intentionally) and others will not. Because the data are collected over time, these studies are prospective. III. Studies that collect information about individuals at a specific point in time, or over a short period of time.
