  43. Understanding the Data: Epidemiology 101 • Study Design • Relative Risk • Odds Ratio

  44. Study Design: Randomized Controlled Trial • 2 groups: a treatment and control group • Treatment group receives the treatment under investigation • Control group receives either no treatment or some standard default treatment • Patients are randomly assigned to all groups

  45. Randomized Controlled Trial • Advantages • Reduces risk of bias and increases the probability that differences between groups can be attributed to the treatment • Disadvantages • Study takes along time to complete • Researchers need to recruit 2 study populations: treatment and control • Costly

  46. Cohort Study • Patients who presently have a certain condition and/or receive a particular treatment are followed over time and compared with another group who are not affected by the condition.

  47. Cohort Study • Advantages • More flexible re: ethical considerations • Valuable for studying diseases that take years to manifest • Disadvantages • Not as reliable • All variables not controlled • Can take a long time—have to wait until conditions of interest develop

  48. Study Design • Prospective Cohort Study • Identifies the original population at the beginning of the study • Accompanies subjects concurrently until disease develops or does not develop • Retrospective Cohort Study • Use historical data to telescope the frame of calendar time for the study and obtain their results sooner

  49. Study Design • Case Control Studies • Patients who already have a certain condition are compared with patients who do not • Advantages • Can be done quickly • Researchers do not use special methods • Disadvantages • Less reliable • No control groups • Issues of association vs. causation

  50. Relative Risk = Risk of developing STI in exposed population Risk of developing STI in non-exposed population Relative Risk Disease Develops Disease Does Not Develop Incidence Rates of Disease Totals __a__ a + b __c__ c + d
