Various research methods are employed in occupational epidemiology:
1. Cohort Studies: Following a group of workers over time to assess the development of health outcomes. 2. Case-Control Studies: Comparing workers with a specific health condition to those without, to identify exposure differences. 3. Cross-Sectional Studies: Evaluating health outcomes and exposures at a single point in time. 4. Surveillance Systems: Monitoring and tracking health events in the workplace.
