Dennis was conducting a study of a specific group of individuals who were married during a certain time period and still married at the time of the study. This is the definition of a cohort study. A case study would focus on a single individual or a small group, a panel study would involve tracking the same group of people over time, a time-series study would focus on changes over a period of time, and a cross-sectional study would involve gathering data from a diverse group of individuals at a single point in time.
