An investigator wants to test whether exposure to secondhand smoke before 1 year of life is associated with development of childhood asthma (defined as asthma diagnosed before 5 years of age). Give two possible study designs.

The two possible study design are; "COHORT STUDY" and "CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY".

Explanation: Cohort study design is an observational study in which people who receives a particular treatment or are under a particular condition, are been observed and studied. This type of research model also allows a researcher to compare people affected by a condition to people unaffected by the same conditions.

The investigator is likely to use the cohort design because it will help in studying the children that are always exposed to smoke, and to observe the affected and unaffected children.

The CROSS-SECTIONAL design is an observational study in which a specific population are studied at a particular time. This type of research allows the researcher to study the difference in that population at a time interval.

This study design is likely to be used by the investigator, because it will help the investigator to determine the amount of secondhand smoke each child inhale at a particular time. It will also help the investigator to know the outcome of each child after 5years
