True or False
1. Prevalence refers to the proportion of participants with a risk factor or disease at a particular point in time
2. Censoring occurs when the event of interest (disease) is observed on every individual, usually due to time constraints.
3. Relative risk is an ideal form of measurement for a retrospective cohort study design because it allows researchers to recruit both individuals with the outcome of interest and individuals without the outcome of interest, then match individuals from each of the respective groups to individuals of the other group to determine if a specific exposure caused the outcome of interest.
4. The incidence rate is computed by taking the ratio of the number of new cases of disease to the total number of person-time units available
5. The prevalence of a disease depends on the incidence of the disease as well as the duration of the disease.
