Expert Solution

Cross sectional research design is an observational research design wherein you observe individuals from various groups and make a comparison at a single point in time. Example: finding out the prevalence of cancer among smokers and nonsmokers. Therefore it is not a cross sectional study

Retrospective case-control is a design wherein you compare patients that have a disease or outcome of interest with individuals who do not have the disease nor the outcome of interest. You try to identify whether an exposure of a risk factor is present in each group in order to find an association between the risk factor and the disease thus the present study is not a Retrospective case-control study

Clinical studies are experimental research designs that will have an experimental group and a control group in order to compare the effectiveness of medical treatment and preventive interventions and the subjects are randomly assigned to the groups. The present study is not an experimental study thus it is not a clinical study.

In prospective cohort design, a group of participants are selected and are studied for a period of time. When the participants are selected, none of them have any disease however, they are expected to develop a disease over time and they are monitored to check the progress

In retrospective cohort design, participants with a known disease or outcome are selected for the study. They study the participant’s past in order to determine what the risk factors were that leads to the development of the disease and when they were exposed to such outcomes. They determine the current state of the participants. Thus it matches with the current study hence the correct answer is Retrospective Cohort Design
