What are Some Epidemiological Methods Used to Study Agrochemical Exposure?
Several epidemiological methods are employed to study agrochemical exposure, including:
1. Cross-sectional Studies: These studies assess the health status and exposure levels of a population at a single point in time. 2. Cohort Studies: These follow a group of individuals over time to observe the development of health outcomes in relation to agrochemical exposure. 3. Case-Control Studies: These compare individuals with specific health conditions to those without, looking backward to examine exposure history. 4. Ecological Studies: These analyze data from entire populations to identify correlations between agrochemical use and health outcomes.
