1. Cross-sectional study design: a relatively quick way to test a hypothesis
4
An observational study
A snapshot of what is going on
Sometimes called a
prevalence study
One point in time
Cross-sectional studies are carried out to investigate possible associations between hypothesized exposures and outcomes.
People in the study take a survey and give answers to questions about exposure and about outcome at the same time.

Handy for calculations
The simplest table is the 2x2 table
Shows exposure
and outcome
From Epi Textbooks
A contingency table is used to display exposure and outcome data so associations can be measured.
- Categories of one variable are presented in rows and categories of another variable are presented in columns
- The table is used to show the number people who:
have or do not have the exposure and
have or do not have the outcome.
- The simplest contingency table is the 2x2 table

IMPORTANT NOTICE!

use the idea of a 2x2

possible association
between and exposure

Fifty-four students were asked to participate in a cross-sectional study to explore the hypothesis:
“Students who get more sleep are likely to be more physically active, compared to students who get less sleep.”

• For each survey, figure out which 2x2 table cell the respondent belongs (a, b, c, or d
• Write the correct letter of the cell in the upper left hand corner of each sheet
• Sort the 54 cards by cell letter
• Add up the numbers for each cell and fill in the 2x2 table accordingly
