This question should be broad enough to allow for a comprehensive investigation of the topic but specific enough to guide the research process.<br><br>Read more @ https://pubrica.com/academy/data-collection/how-to-frame-a-research-question-and-sub-research-question-for-prospective-cohort-studies/<br>Visit us @ https://pubrica.com/services/research-services/case-report-writing/<br>

Introduction Framing a research question for prospective cohort studies requires careful consideration of the specific research topic and population of interest. Here are some steps to follow to frame a research question and sub-questions for prospective cohort studies: 1.Identify the main research question: The main research question should be a focused, hypothesis-driven question that clearly defines the research objective. 2.Define the population of interest: The research question should clearly define the population of interest 3.Specify the exposure or intervention of interest: The exposure or intervention of interest should be specified in the research question.. 4.Consider the outcome of interest: The research question should clearly define the outcome of interest. 5.Develop sub-questions: Sub-questions can be used to provide more detail and clarity to the main research question.
Example research question: Does regular physical activity reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease among middle-aged adults over a 10-year period, compared to sedentary ones? Sub-questions: What is the incidence rate of cardiovascular disease among the study population over the 10 years? What is the level of physical activity among the study population, and how does it vary over time? What are the demographic and lifestyle characteristics of the study population, and how do they influence the risk of cardiovascular disease? How does the risk of cardiovascular disease vary according to different levels of physical activity after controlling for other demographic and lifestyle factors? What is the dose-response relationship between physical activity and the risk of cardiovascular disease among middle-aged adults over a 10-year period? contd...
Some possible research objectives based on the research question: To investigate the incidence rate of cardiovascular disease among middle-aged adults over a 10-year period. Assess the level of physical activity among the study population and how it varies over time. To examine the demographic and lifestyle characteristics of the study population and how they influence the risk of cardiovascular disease. After controlling for other demographic and lifestyle factors, determine the relationship between physical activity and cardiovascular disease risk among middle-aged adults. To explore the dose-response relationship between physical activity and the risk of cardiovascular disease among middle- aged adults over a 10-year period.
