this video solve my prob blocking me down for 4 years, haha
ungrateful. Pay attention in class.
Summary notes of study types:
1. 1:09 Ecological Study: comparing health of groups in different places or at different times
2. 1:52 Case Series: describe characteristics (demographics, clinical presentation, prognosis, unusual observations) of a group who has same disease or exposure.
3. 2:19 Cross-Sectional Study: snap shot at a given time on health in a group (e.g. health surveys) (also called prevalence studies)
4. 3:16 Case-Control Study: establish chance of exposure to a risk factor in cases (e.g. patients) vs controls (healthy individuals) over time (odds-ratio calculation)
5. 4:54 Cohort Study: follow group over time and check risk factors along the way (relative risk calculation)
6. 6:52 Interventional Study: double/triple-blinded randomized-control trials (e.g. test effects of a new drug)
Overview studies of multiple studies:
8:52 Systematic review
9:08 Meta-analysis
Study types 1,2,3 are ‘snapshots’ at a single point in time, while Study types 4,5,6 are ‘longitudinal’, meaning over a longer time period. Study type 4 is mostly retrospective (looking at the past), while Study type 5 and 6 are prospective (looking at the future).
Study type 4,5,6 can determine or describe probability of causality,
which is not possible in Study types 1,2,3.
Study types 1-5 are ‘observational’, while Study type 6 is ‘interventional’.
Watch the full video for examples and listing of advantages and disadvantages!
Thaaaank youu , wish i saw ur comment before having a 1h30 lecture , this is great summary , the vid makes more sense nw !
@@ahlemben5299 Haha, no problem! Good luck studying! You can do it ;)
@@Biomeducated So grateful , thank you
@@ahlemben5299 What are you studying if I may ask? Medicine? Biomedical? Life Sciences?
Biomed Master yeah sure im a pharmacy student , and here we have epidemiology as a subject ,to teach us how a study should be , even tho we study in french ( in Algeria ) i find these kinda vids very helpful and ur channel as well thanks for sharing
Exam notes:
1. Process of epidemiological studies:
Study question --> select a study type --> collect and analyse data --> interpret result --> report finding. Finally, it should be done in an ethical way
2. Ecological study: applies to groups and not individuals.
- Useful for comparing health across multiple places (e.g., measles rate across Australia and New Zealand), or comparing two time periods in a single place.
- Generating questions that can lend themselves to future investigation and studies.
3. Case series:
- Characteristics of a group of people with same disease or same exposure. The aim is to understand demographics, presentation, prognosis or other characteristics of people who have a particular disease.
4. Cross sectional study:
-It takes a selected population and measure health information at a given point of time, giving a snapshot of health. E.g., using surveys. They are also called prevalence study. Selected population should be representative of the total population.
Advantages:
- Relatively inexpensive
- Assessing exposure/outcomes
- Assess health needs
Disadvantages:
- Cannot be used to measure causality
5. Case control:
- Starts with cases, people with diseases. Uses a control group, similar people but no disease. Both groups are asked about their exposure to certain risk factors, and then odds ratio is calculated as given below:
OR = odds of being exposed - case/odds of being exposed - control
If OR>1, risk factor is associated with the disease
If OR=1, risk factor is not associated with the disease
If OR1, increased risk
RR=1, same risk
RR
Ethics? People pushing poison useless toxic clotshots don't have ethics, or an understanding of science. Why don't you delete this long-winded gobblygook and get a real job where you're not a worthless welfare queen.
tyy!!
Thank you!
Thanks 😊
Thank yoy
The way I'm going to remember this voice while writing my exams!!!!!!..Thank you so much really helpful..Epidemiology exams you can come now for all I care I'm going to Ace you....
This is the best video I have watched to understand biostats/different studies in a short time, a tremendous thank you to the makers!
Finally, I know the difference between case control and cohort study. Thanks a lot.
I love how you chose to animate/play out your voice over with the graphics! I saw this video in class when I was initially learning the various studies and it helped me a lot!
I have been watching your videos for the last hour and they are brilliant. Thank you! I've been studying my lecture notes, and reading my text book but I find your quick tutes tie it all together! They are so good. Thank you again.
Ya, these videos are good for drug pushers aspiring to be worthless welfare queens living off the taxpayer.
Thank you professor Liwen Zeng at the UofA for providing this link. Executed with me in mind. Intuitive, succinct, and informative.
Thank you so much! Although I'm German and not that good in English, I was able to understand the topic much better than with the help of regular German literature on epidemiology.
Thank you! I am very happy that it helped!
why?
Indeed, a great summary on this topic, excellent video. Thanks a thousand!
Superb.... :-)
So simple and nicely presented. As a student, we need these topics to be presented as interesting as this video was. Thank you and keep uploading more of these types of videoes....
Thanks!
Thank you for investing your time to produce and upload this incredibly useful video!
I absolutely love this video. I'm currently in my M.Sc Public Health. I had to learn this so many times but it was so helpful as a refresher. Maybe a little fast :)
Please keep up the good work
Why don't you go for a real career where you would benefit society instead of becoming a worthless welfare queen living off the taxpayer?

same-12:AM,after 4 years :)
Prefect job
We need more videos like that
In public health
I agree. with Xender. Upload more examples and information. Of all the videos that are available on the Internet, this is one of the most helpful. I have been studying on my own for a Board Certification exam which includes epidemiological studies. This overview has been helpful in shaping my perspective of the topic.
Thanks for your feedback! I am glad you liked it. Making a few more..
enjoyable ,clear and time efficient ...waiting for more such great work

This vieo will help me at my exam.

An amazing video
Best video i have ever seen
For like 2 seconds I could have sworn I was about to watch and episode of Arrested Development. The guy sounds just like the narrator!
Wow🤩 nice explanation 👏
thank you
It's hard to believe when I saw my test results turned negative of HSV2 after using the herbal medications I got from (Dr. Anii) a great doctor who I came across on CZcams who help people get rid of their sickness thank you so much Sir
thanks alot for this great video >>> just i have question >> can we conclude that case-control study can determine the cause of disease (causality) >> for example the case group who have lung cancer (disease) showed association with smoking (risk factor A) >> so can we say that smoking is causing lung cancer >> is it ?? same goes to other risk factors.
Dr Ranil, please make a video on causality and bias!!
This video help me alot thank
I feel a need on more explaintion on cross-sectional study. There must be some sort of comparison ( between groups in this case) in order to explain the influence of a factor.
Thx a lot, it's very helpful
Great!
Amazing video!
