Prospective cohort study
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A prospective cohort study is a research study that follows over time groups of individuals who are alike in many ways but differ by a certain characteristic (for example, female nurses who smoke and those who do not smoke) and compares them for a particular outcome (such as lung cancer).
