EPI Formula Sheet

This document provides an overview of key epidemiological study designs and terms. It defines cross-sectional studies as examining the relationship between diseases and other factors by taking a "snapshot" of a population at one time. Cohort studies identify a group of individuals and follow them over time, such as comparing those exposed versus not exposed to a disease. Case-control studies compare people who have the disease (cases) to those who don't (controls) to look back in time at exposures. Other terms defined include prevalence, incidence, odds ratio, relative risk, and attributable risk.
