A) Which type of experimental design is utilized to determine if an intervention causes changes in human health? A. Clinical Trial B. Population Survey C. Case-Control Study D. Cohort Study B) A study was done using 99 students in each of three elementary schools to determine whether growing their own vegetables would increase their vegetable consumption. Two of the three schools were used as the experimental groups and 1 school was used as the control group. The two experimental groups were subjected to a 10-week nutrition curriculum "Growing Your Own Vegetables for Nutrition" and one of the two experimental groups participated in growing, tending, and harvesting their own vegetables in a schoolyard vegetable garden. The control group did not participate in either activity. Students in all three groups took a pre-quiz (24-hour food recall) and post-quiz (24-hour food recall), before and after the activities. Consumption of vegetables was compared (via the 24-hour food recalls) before and after the activities (nutrition curriculum only or nutrition curriculum plus gardening activity or control). This experimental design best matches which category? A. Clinical Trial B. Population Survey C. Case-Control Study D. Cohort Study E. Quasi-Experimental Design

1. A study claims that the combination of vitamin C with vitamin E is more effective for preventing the flu than vitamin C alone. In the study, a group of researchers studied 1132 subjects. The subjects were randomly assigned to out of three study groups. The first group of 310 subjects were instructed to take 600 mg daily of vitamin C. The second group of 418 subjects were instructed to take 600 mg of vitamin C and 200 IU of vitamin E daily. The third group of 404 subjects were instructed to take 600 mg of vitamin C and 400 IU of vitamin E daily. The incidence of flu over a season was recorded. All subjects knew which treatment they were receiving. In this study, which is the control group? the first group of 310 taking vitamin C alone the second group of 418 taking 200 IU of vitamin E the 1132 subjects the third group of 404 taking 400 IU of vitamin E There is no control group. This study is not blind. double-blind not an experiment blind, but not double-blind none of the above 2. To test the effectiveness of a liquid supplement that is supposed to help forgetful people with their memory, 400 college students are recruited for a study and divided into two groups. Group A with 250 students receives the supplement, while group B with 150 students receives some colored water. Neither group is told what they received. After several weeks, they are given a memory test. This study can best be described as a survey using simple random sampling a controlled placebo experiment a census the placebo effect a survey using quota sampling

Epidemiology Study Design Question - Which type of study design best fits the study description below? Sample a population that is at risk of a disease and with aa potentially harmful exposure. Divide your study participants with equal probability into two groups, conduct the intervention with the goal of changing the harmful exposure in one part of the group only, observe and compare a disease occurrence in both groups: a) Ecological Study b) Randomized Trial c) Case-Control Study d) Observational Cohort e) Cross-Sectional Study
