Discussion 3

The research study by Jaffuel et al. (2021) titled, “Sacubitril‐valsartan initiation in chronic heart failure patients impacts sleep apnea the ENTRESTO‐SAS study’’ used a cohort study design, which is an observational study where researchers monitor the study participants over an extended period of time without interfering with any variables. Cohort studies are preferred in epidemiology as they help medical researchers directly investigate potential health risk factors and health outcomes. Cohort studies are advantageous as they provide extensive data by enabling researchers to understand the link between a disease and its risk factors (Liamputtong, 2019). They also allow researchers to evaluate the risks and effects of rare diseases and exposures such as toxic chemicals. Cohort studies aid researchers in studying changes in levels of exposure and outcomes, allow for multiple outcomes to be measured, and are ethically safe.

The disadvantages of cohort studies include lack of randomization and taking a long time during which certain variables may change, hence affecting the credibility of study results. In addition, cohort studies are expensive, prone to bias, and are unable to explain how the identified risk factors are associated with disease. Data was collected using questionnaires, which is a cost-effective method of collecting data. It can be standardized, easy to use and administer, enables comparability and scalability, is easy to analyze, and maintains the confidentiality of participants (Bougie & Sekaran, 2019). The disadvantages of a questionnaire include limited responses due to limited space and the risk of manipulated responses since the researcher is not able to confirm the validity and reliability of the information. Also, questionnaires may have incomplete entries and are not suitable for collecting information on delicate issues. This data collection method does not allow rapport with the subject and cannot be used in in-depth studies. Quantitative Research Design And The Data Collection Methods Discussion
