Highest level of data
Best way to establish causation
Positive predictive value (ppv)

Definition 2 of 78
Experiments that introduce a treatment to study its effects on real people.
less bias (randomizing and bias)
comparison between intervention groups & control groups are randomly selected

population
No comparison group
Lack of info on timing of exposure AND outcome relationships AND include prevalent cases
Compare diagnostic tests called PROSPECTIVE, BLIND COMPARISON to the gold standard

change based on positive & negative results

specificity
likelihood ratio
odds ratio
, Definition 8 of 78
1) Temporal relationship-associated factor must be present before the disease
2) Strength of association-The stronger the relationship, the more likely it is casual
3)Dose-response relationship-dose increases, so does the risk of development of the disease
4)replication of findings-findings can be found repeated in other studies
5) Biological plausibility-current knowledge on the factor or exposure and the response of the
human body on the cellular level is consistent with the findings
Positive predictive value
