Scenario:
You just received funding from the EPA to conduct a study to see if there is a link between air pollution and lung disease. As a public health professional, how would you design a study that is not weakened by the ecologic fallacy?
You should include the following considerations in your study design:
Definition and measurement of the exposure
The outcome
Unit of analysis
Sample selection
Your study should be in APA format, in-text citation and reference list.
