Longitudinal design involves studying the same group of individuals over an extended period of time, making it possible to observe changes and measure the direction and magnitude of those changes. In contrast, cross-sectional designs measure data at a single point in time, making it difficult to determine whether changes have occurred. Therefore, longitudinal design is better suited to detecting change over time.
