A cross-sectional study design :

  • A.Compares two or more variables longitudinally
  • B.Collects data from more than one cases at one moment in time
  • C.Provides an intervention
  • D.Researches into one particular section of the society

Answer: B

A cross-sectional study collects data from more than one case at one moment in time.

A cross-sectional design studies many people, of different ages or groups, at a single point in time, like a snapshot, and compares them. For example, the nutritional status of children aged 1 to 5 can be compared in one survey.

Following the same subjects over time is a longitudinal design. Providing an intervention makes a study experimental, and researching one section of society describes the population studied, not the design.
