Abstract

Cross-sectional studies are observational studies in which the investigator measures the exposure and outcome at a single point of time. Observational studies means that, the investigator only observes and makes no interventions to the participants. Cross-sectional studies also known as prevalence studies are used frequently in the developing countries since they are relatively inexpensive and easy to conduct compared to other types of studies. This paper reviews the definition, types, advantages and disadvantages of the cross-sectional studies.
