Various study designs are employed to analyze outcomes: - Cohort Studies: Follow a group of people over time to assess the development of outcomes. - Case-Control Studies: Compare individuals with a disease (cases) to those without (controls) to identify risk factors. - Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs): Participants are randomly assigned to intervention or control groups to measure the effect of interventions. - Cross-Sectional Studies: Assess the prevalence of outcomes at a single point in time.
