In epidemiological studies, the findings to be reported typically include the study's objectives, methodology, results, and interpretations. The key components are:
Study Design: Clearly describe whether the study is observational or experimental, and specify the type (e.g., cohort, case-control, cross-sectional). Population: Define the sample population, including inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data Collection Methods: Detail how data was collected, including the tools and procedures used. Statistical Analysis: Explain the statistical methods used to analyze the data. Results: Present the findings with appropriate measures of association, confidence intervals, and p-values. Interpretation: Discuss the implications of the findings, potential biases, and limitations.
