Name the measure of frequency (point prevalence, period prevalence, cumulative incidence, incidence rate) or the measure of association (prevalence (rate) ratio, risk ratio, odds ratio of exposure, rate ratio) that would be appropriate to use for the study design (note - some studies may have more than one possible measure – please list only one – also, do not use relative risk). (1 mark each)
Please present your answers in a table like this. An empty table can be downloaded here.
