Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is an example of case-oriented research, as it focuses on a specific group (police officers involved in shooting incidents) and the impact on their sick leave usage. It is not a variable-oriented study as it is not looking at the relationship between two variables, and it is not a quasi-experimental or cohort study as it is not manipulating any variables or following a specific group over time.
