Cross-sectional studies: These studies analyze data from a population at a single point in time. Cohort studies: These longitudinal studies follow a group of people over time to observe how different factors affect their health outcomes. Case-control studies: These studies compare individuals with a specific condition to those without to identify potential causes. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs): These experiments assign participants to intervention or control groups to evaluate the effectiveness of specific treatments or interventions.
