Cohort studies allow true determination of incidence of an outcome.Question 2Select one:TrueFalse

Answer

Cohort studies are observational studies that follow a group of individuals over time to determine the incidence of outcomes, such as diseases or other health-related events. They start with a defined group and track outcomes based on exposure status.

1. True Determination: Cohort studies can help determine the incidence of an outcome as they provide data on how many new cases occur in the population at risk during the study period.
2. Incidence Calculation: By following a cohort over time, researchers can calculate the incidence rate, which is the number of new cases of the outcome divided by the total person-time at risk.

Conclusion

Therefore, the statement is True: Cohort studies allow for the true determination of the incidence of an outcome.
