What are the Epidemiological Methods Used to Study Radiation-Related Diseases?
Epidemiologists employ various study designs to investigate radiation-related diseases, including cohort studies, case-control studies, and ecological studies. Cohort studies follow a group of people over time to assess the incidence of disease relative to their radiation exposure. Case-control studies compare individuals with a specific disease to those without to identify potential exposure links. Ecological studies examine disease rates in different populations to identify patterns related to radiation exposure.
