Dr. Stone is selecting a group of individuals (10-year-olds) and plans to survey them repeatedly over time (every other year for 10 years), making it a panel study. The purpose is to compare attitudes about teenage pregnancy in two different countries, suggesting a cross-cultural comparison. However, the study design is longitudinal, focusing on a particular group (cohort) of individuals, making it a panel study, which is different from a trend or cross-sectional study.
