Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A family study would allow Dr. Essen to evaluate both environmental and genetic influences on eating behavior by comparing the eating habits of family members who share both genetic and environmental factors. A marriage study would only focus on the individuals' married status and not consider genetic factors. A double-blind study would not be applicable in this behavioral genetics topic. Randomizing refers to the process of assigning participants to different groups in a study, and is not a type of study design.
