What are Longitudinal Studies?

A flower that represents Strategy with the text “Longitudinal Studies” beneath it.

Longitudinal studies employ continuous or repeated measures to follow particular individuals over prolonged periods of time—often years or decades.

"Longitudinal studies employ continuous or repeated measures to follow particular individuals over prolonged periods of time—often years or decades. They are generally observational in nature, with quantitative and/or qualitative data being collected on any combination of exposures and outcomes, without any external influenced being applied. This study type is particularly useful for evaluating the relationship between risk factors and the development of disease, and the outcomes of treatments over different lengths of time. Similarly, because data is collected for given individuals within a predefined group, appropriate statistical testing may be employed to analyse change over time for the group as a whole, or for particular individuals."
