Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
In prospective cohort designs, researchers begin with a possible cause, and then subsequently collect data about outcomes. Retrospective designs (case-control designs) involve collecting data about an outcome in the present and then looking back in time for possible causes. In a time-series design, outcome data are collected over a period of time before and after the intervention, usually for a single group. In crossover designs, people are exposed to more than one experimental condition in random order and serve as their own controls.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Cross-sectional designs involve the collection of data at one time period, whereas longitudinal designs involve data collection at two or more times over an extended period. In a time-series design, outcome data are collected over a period of time before and after the intervention, usually for a single group. In crossover designs, people are exposed to more than one experimental condition in random order and serve as their own controls.
