In a cross-sectional design, researchers collect data from different groups of people at the same time, such as the 20-year-olds, 40-year-olds, and 60-year-olds in this example. This allows for comparisons across groups, but does not track changes within individuals over time. Longitudinal, time-sequential, and sequential designs all involve collecting data from the same individuals over an extended period of time.
