As the COVID-19 epidemic rages in Ghana, many are seeking answers to the following questions: 1. What are the risk factors for getting infected with COVID-19? 2. What are the risk factors for having symptomatic infection i.e. feeling unwell? 3. What are the risk factors for severe disease (needing hospitalization) and death once a person is infected with COVID-19? Out of the under listed, choose a study design to answer any ONE of the three research questions above: 1. Case-based (prevalent cases) 2. Case-based (incident cases) 3. Case-Cohort (incident cases) 4. Density/Nested (incident cases) 5. Case-Crossover (incident cases) 6. Retrospective cohort 7. Community trial 8. Randomized controlled trial Question 1 Describe the design you select for carrying out the study to answer the research question you selected. In your description, be sure to capture as many elements as possible which highlight the design. E.g. if the simple case-control design was one of the options and you had selected it (note it is not one of the options), you would have to clearly define who your cases would be and who your controls would be, as well as when and how you would identify them etc. Type your response here. Word limit: min 600, max 1,000 Question 2 Provide three specific and practical reasons for your choice of study design for the research question you selected as opposed to any other of the designs. Do not simply state the generic strengths or advantages of your chosen study design, but make them specific to the research question. Type your response here. Word limit: min 200, max 500 Question 3 For each study design you have described to address the research questions, provide three possible research biases and how you would solve them. Do not simply state generic biases and how they are addressed, but be practical about it and how it relates specifically to the research question.
