number of cases and controls who usually do not represent an entire cohort of exposed individuals.
B. the measurement of exposure may be inaccurate. Representativeness of cases and controls may be unknown and
may provide indirect estimates of risk. The temporal relationship between exposure factor and outcome cannot always be
determined.
C. For an observational designed study, the observer does not have control over the exposure factor. Mostly, cannot
assign subjects by random to certain study conditions. For an experimentally designed study the observer can control who is
exposed to certain factors and is able to assign subjects by random to certain study groups.

C. The ecologic fallacy and imprecise measurement of exposure.
Ans: C

91. Describe the benefits of the ecologic study
