  • What type of study is this? 
  • What was the hypothesis proposed by Chapman et al? 
  • What are the advantages of this study design?
  • What are the disadvantages of this study design?
  • Can you suggest a better way to study this association?

    2. Exploring whether there is an association between the incidence of brain cancer in Australia and mobile phone use over a 29 year period (from 1987)
    3. Not putting people at risk as you would with an RCT. Secondary data analysis, inexpensive and quick. 
    4. Inability to determine causation, confounding factors
    5. Case-control potentially, although mobile phone use is high so it my be difficult to find controls. Prospective cohort could be undertaken which can account for more of the confounding factors]]>     2021-11-17 22:38:20 UTC https://padlet.com/unswmedicineandhealth/methods_week10/wish/1898099719     GROUP 2 https://padlet.com/unswmedicineandhealth/methods_week10/wish/1898102243 1. Ecological study
    2. association between mobile use and brain cancer incidence. 
    3. use existing data set to test a hypothesis
    4. its just a population study, not individual use
