types of longitudinal designs. • --TREND STUDIES are investigations in which samples from a population are studied over time with respect to some phenomenon.

Example of a trend study: Greenfield, Midanik, and Rogers (2000) studied trends in alcohol consumption in the United States over a 10-year period, using data from the 1984, 1990, and 1995 National Alcohol Surveys. They found that rates of heavy drinking had fallen between 1984 and 1990, but had remained unchanged between 1990 and 1995
