longitudinal cohort study - (pronounced) (LON-jih-TOO-dih-nul KOH-hort STUH-dee) A type of research study that follows large groups of people over a long period of time. The groups are similar in many respects, but differ in one specific characteristic (e. g. smoking and non-smoking nurses). A specific outcome (e. g. the development of lung cancer) is compared between the groups. The same individuals in each group will be assessed many times throughout the study
