Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A cross-sectional design involves comparing different groups of individuals, each group differing in some specific characteristic (like age or presence of disability), to see how they respond to an independent variable. This design is often used to assess the prevalence of outcomes or to identify potential associations between variables at a single point in time.
