Cohort Study is an observational study in which a group of individuals â a cohort â are followed over a period of time in order to determine either the incidence rate of certain diseases or the risk factors that lead to those diseases. These studies can be either prospective or retrospective.
You answered 'Yes', and in general this is not correct. Where a cohort study is designed to identify causal factors for a disease, you would begin by selecting a sample of people who do not have the disease (so, prevalence = zero). You would then follow them over time.Some incident cases would arise, and these would provide you with an estimate of prevalence.here a cohort study is designed to identify causal factors for a disease, you would begin by selecting a sample of people who do not have the disease (so, prevalence = zero).
