Which of the following is not classified as a cohort study design?

A Descriptive study

B Prospective study

C Historical cohort study

D Retrospective cohort study

Solution

Correct Answer: Option A

- A descriptive study is not classified as a cohort study because it primarily aims to describe characteristics or outcomes in a population without assessing exposure-outcome relationships.
- In contrast, cohort studies (prospective, retrospective, historical) involve following groups based on exposure status over time to determine the incidence of outcomes.
- Thus, cohort studies are analytical, while descriptive studies do not investigate causality or exposure effects.
