Cohort study methods are a type of observational research design where a group of individuals (the cohort) is followed over time to assess the effects of certain exposures or characteristics on specific outcomes, such as the incidence of disease. In cohort studies, researchers typically divide the cohort into exposed and unexposed groups and then observe and compare the health outcomes over a defined period.
