Why?

Prospective Cohort Study

Type of Study

• Way to get current data on exactly the things I am looking for
• Strength: Strongest observational study design and can establish temporality.
• Weakness: Difficult to recruit, expensive to maintain, takes a lot of time and money

Why not a different type of study?

-Gather data on heart disease in various occupations -Have people complete weekly tests on cortisol levels-Have people fill out a perceived stress survey.

Random Error

-Relative Risk-Odds Ratio

Cardiovascular Events: Case Definition: Those who have experienced a heart attack, developed a heart disease, or have arrhythmia.Measures: Data collected on rates of heart disease of those who work in caregiving professions and groups that don’t work in the caregiving profession and have a heart disease. Stress: Case Definition: Stress factors include experiencing anxiety, depression, burnout, working long hours, getting less sleep,etc. Measures:Questionnaire: Perceived stress scaleData collected on cortisol levels

Measurement Outcomes

Outcomes for Measuring Disease

Healthy Worker Effect- Those who choose to be part of the study may not be comparable to the total population or the total population of those in caregiving professions. Ascertainment Bias- An unusual condition of cases and controls. Could be difficult comparing the different populations making sure to isolate exposure.

Selection Biases

Limiting Bias

Information Biases

Reporting Bias- Since part of the survey involves a perceived stress test that requires self-reporting there is always a chance that people may underreport their past medical history. Observer Bias- Just by observing you change the behavior
