Epidemiological, cross-sectional, and longitudinal research In research with a longitudinal design, researchers follow one group over time, directly assessing changes in group members while they occur. Which of the following are weaknesses of a longitudinal design? Check all that apply. - It is possible that the research question will have become irrelevant by the time the study is complete. - This research is costly and time-consuming. - It does not address how problems develop in individuals. Read the scenario, and answer the question that follows: Alicia F. Lieberman and Patricia Van Horn have created a psychotherapy model for young children who have witnessed family violence.

What type of study are you conducting? - Epidemiological - Experimental - Randomized clinical trial - Longitudinal Choose the appropriate term to go with each of the following definitions: Description: The collection of participants in each age group used in a cross-sectional study Term: C: Cohort Description: The estimated number of new cases during a specific period Term: B: Incidence Description: Data based on participants looking back and reporting on something from their past Term: D: Retrospective Information Description: Involves repeated study of different cohorts over time Term: A: Sequential
