Study Design Options
• All epidemiological studies are (or should be) based on a particular population (the source population) followed over a particular period of time (the risk period)
• The different study design options differ only in how the source population is defined and how information is drawn from this population and time period

Incidence and Prevalence
• Incidence is the number of new cases of the condition over a specified period of time
• Prevalence is the number of cases of the condition at a particular point in time

Reasons for Doing a Prevalence Study• To assess the burden of disease in a
population and to assess the need for health services
• To compare the prevalence of disease in different populations
• To examine trends in disease prevalence or severity over time

Prevalence Studies
• Number (proportion) of people with the disease at a particular point in time
• Under certain assumptions:P/(1-P)=IDPOR=I1D1/I0D0
• Therefore differences in prevalence may be due to differences in incidence, differences in duration, or both

PhasesI. Initial overview of the international distribution of the
prevalence and severity of asthma, rhinitis, and eczema in childhood
II. Further studies of aetiologic questions will include skin tests for atopy, measurements of lung function and bronchial reactivity, serum IgE levels, physical examination, genetic markers, aeroallergens at home, and clinical management
III.Repetition of Phase One after at least 3 years to determine trends in the prevalence and severity of these diseases

Phase I core instruments:• written questionnaires, one page each, on the
prevalence and severity of asthma, rhinitis, and eczema for self-completion in 13 - 14 year olds (compulsory)
• video questionnaire on the prevalence and severity of asthma for self-completion by 13 - 14 year olds (recommended)
• written questionnaires, one page each, on the prevalence and severity of asthma, rhinitis, and eczema for self-completion by parents of 6 - 7 year olds (recommended)

Key Findings From ISAAC
• English-speaking countries have the highest asthma prevalence in the world
• There is little variation within the English-speaking countries
• Other countries in Latin America arealso high
• There is a Northwest-Southeast gradient within Europe

Key Findings From ISAAC
• There is an inconsistent correlation of asthma prevalence with affluence (as measured by GNP)
• There are some areas (West/East Germany, Hong Kong/Guangzhou) with major prevalence differences within the same ethnic group
• There is a weak and inconsistent association between asthma prevalence and that of other “atopic” conditions such as rhinitis and eczema

Prevalence Case-Control Studies
This prevalence case-control study yields the same estimate as would have been obtained by a prevalence study but with a much smaller number of participants because we include all of the prevalent cases but only a sample of the non-cases

Prevalence Case-Control Studies
Oliveti et al (1996), prevalence case-control study of asthma in inner city African-American children
• Cases: physician diagnosed asthma with recent symptoms
• Controls: non-asthmatics using the same hospital-based clinic
• Exposures: perinatal factors
