  • Study design
  Most are cross-sectional, few are longitudinal and very few are RCT’s
  Randomised experimental studies allow for the possibility of isolating specific riskfactors and exposing subjects at will, but in real life contextual factors do not occur in isolation, and it is often difficult to randomise individuals to new or changed environments.
  • Self-selection
  • Area of exposure
  Which environment is being looked at? Influences the results!
  • Defining exposure
  Many ways of operationalizing environments
  • Mismatch
  Subjective/objective data: difference in results! Behaviors or availability
  • Interactions
