Expert Solution

Step 1

Finding the cases and controls is followed by determining the exposure status. Medical records, interviews, questionnaires, or surrogates can all be used to learn about someone's exposure status. One can get it from the spouse, siblings, or employer. To prevent bias, information on exposure status should be gathered uniformly for cases and controls.
