Question

I'm trying to determine strength of evidence for a research article. I have level 1 through level 7. My article is a cross-sectional study, and the other article is a survey. Which level do these two meet. I think its level 4, non-experimental design, but I'm not sure. A little help here would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Cross - sectional study is a type of observational research that analyzes data of variable collected at one given point in time across a sample population or a pre- defined subset.This study type is also know as cross- sectional analysis,transverse study ,or prevalence study.

A review article surveys and summarizes previously published studies,rather than reporting new facts or analysis...Review article ate some times also called survey article or news publishing overview article.acadamic publication that specialize in review articles are know as review journals.

Non - experimental research is the label given to a study when a researcher cannot control,manipulate or alter the predictor variable or subjects,but instead,relies on interpretation,observation or interactions to come to a conclusion.
