Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dr. McLean is using a cross-sectional research approach because data is being collected at one point in time from different age groups. A longitudinal approach would involve collecting data from the same individuals over a period of time. A cohort approach would involve following a specific group of people who share a common characteristic over time. Latitudinal is not a recognized research approach.
