Document Summary

Different methods of study determine whether something would be a good intervention target what characteristics differentiate the healthy individuals from those who are not. Problem is on cannot infer whether the physical activity caused the individual to become healthier, or if the fact that they are healthy allowed that individual to be physically active. Cross sectional researchers collect data on a large sample of subjects and see. Reverse causation it is important to know what causes what in order to. Randomized control trial (rct) randomly assign individuals to different. Observational studies these are cross studies in that there is no a intervention or the same way as rct(cid:495)s. this is because often health behaviours cluster together treatment and then follow them over time. This is the gold standards study for doing research but it requires much more labor-intensive cross-sectional studies and is not always ethical treatment, but the study participants are re-assessed to see changes in health.
