Studi Observasi
• Descriptive studies
– describe occurrence of outcome
• Analytic studies
– describe association between
exposure and outcome
Design study Epidemiology
• Descriptive study
– Population:
(Correlation or Ecology study)
– Individuals:
Case report
Case series
Cross-sectional
• Analytical Study
– Observational study
Case-control study
Cohort study (retrospective and prospective)
– Experimental study
Clinical trial
Community trial
Ecology Study
Ecological studies
a. Unit analysis: group of people
(Posyandu, Puskesmas, district, province,
country etc)
b. These may compare disease frequencies
among different groups during the same
period, or compare disease frequencies
in the same population at different
points in time as a function of some
exposure.

a. Ecological studies usually are quick and
easy to perform, and can be undertaken
with already available information, but
great care is needed to avoid reaching
conclusions based on spurious
associations.
b. Ecological studies cannot link exposure
to outcome in a given individual.

Types of Analytical Study:
1. Observational Studies
2. Intervention Studies
Analytical Study: Observational Studies
• non-experimental
• observational because there is no subjects
intervention/treatment
• exposures occur in a “non-controlled”
environment
• Subjects can be observed prospectively,
retrospectively, or currently
Case Control Study
Case-Control Studies
Examples :
• The relationship between
thalidomide and unusual limb
defects in Germany
• Studies smoking and lung
cancer in 1950, establishing the
method in epidemiology.
Case-Control Studies
• Type of analytic study
• Unit of observation and analysis: Individual
(not group)
• Case-control studies are the most frequently
undertaken analytical epidemiological studies
• They are practical approach for identifying risk
factors for rare diseases
