Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A longitudinal study follows a group of individuals over a long period of time, making it the best type of study to determine if physically abused children become violent adults. A double-blind study is used to prevent bias in a clinical trial, and a single-blind study only the participant is blinded. A cross-sectional study only collects data at one point in time, limiting its ability to track changes over time.
