What are the specific design features of a cohort study?	In cohort studies the study investigators measure the presence (and absence) of study exposures among the study participants (also known as a study cohort) and allocate them into the appropriate Exposure Group (EG) or Comparison Group (CG) accordingly (e.g. a smoking group and non-smoking group). Then the participants are followed over time and study Outcomes are counted. Image: c4a8291e-7ef4-4b3b-b053-5784ac802224 (image/jpg)
