Cross Sectional Studies

Cross Sectional Studies provide quick view of the frequency of a disease or other health related characteristics in a population at a given point in time. This methodology can be used to assess the burden of disease or health needs of a population, for example, and is therefore particularly useful in informing the planning and allocation of health resources. In a cross-sectional study, data is collected on the whole study population at a single point in time to examine the relationship between disease (or other health related state) and other variables.

Cross sectional studies estimate the prevalence of a disease or condition.
Cross sectional studies measure the exposure and the outcome at the same time.
Cross sectional studies cannot establish a temporal relationship between the exposure and the outcome.

Cross Sectional Types:

Analytical

The data is obtained for the purpose of comparing health outcome differences between exposed and unexposed. Analytical studies attempt to describe the prevalence of, (For example disease or non-disease by first beginning with a population base.)

Descriptive

Descriptive cross-sectional studies characterize the prevalence of a health outcome in a specified population. Prevalence can be assessed at either one point in time (point prevalence) or over a defined period of time ( period prevalence). These prevalence measures are used in public health.
