Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The time dimension of this research project is cross-sectional because the survey is being conducted at one point in time and the researcher is not following the same group of women over a period of time. A trend study would involve collecting data over multiple periods to observe changes in behavior or attitudes. A panel study would involve following the same group of individuals over time, and a cohort study would involve following a group of individuals who share a common characteristic, such as age or geographic location.
