Practice Question
A nurse is using analytic epidemiology when conducting a research project on a comparison group. Which of the following research projects is the nurse most likely completing?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Identifying factors contributing to childhood obesity
Rationale:
🔸Analytic epidemiology involves investigating the causes and associations of health conditions by using a comparison group to test hypotheses about disease determinants.
🔸A study on factors contributing to childhood obesity fits this definition, as it requires identifying relationships between exposures (e.g., diet, physical activity) and outcomes (obesity rates).
🔸 This contrasts with descriptive epidemiology, which simply outlines the distribution of diseases.
🔸Analytic methods enable nurses and researchers to inform evidence-based interventions and policies that target modifiable risk factors.
