Design A Study:

In the Spring and Summer of 2020, mass protests erupted across the US in response to police violence against African Americans. At the same time, the US was experiencing a COVID-19 pandemic. Many public health experts wondered whether participating in these protests (exposure) would be associated with being diagnosed with COVID-19 (outcome).

Imagine you have been hired to draft a plan to study this potential association.

Which study design would you choose? (Almost any design is okay). Explain the factors that influenced why you selected that one. Include some of the benefits/drawbacks of your selected study design and the benefits/drawbacks of the study designs you did not select.
Write your research question and make a hypothesis about the results.
Briefly describe how you would conduct your study, including
- Recruitment strategy and number of participants (Be sure you have people in all 4 boxes of the 2x2 table!)
- Measure of association to be used (RR/OR)
- Potential confounding variables you would want to collect data on so you could take them into account
- Potential biases your study could have and how you would plan to minimize them

The subject of interest here is whether  participating in these protests would be associated with being diagnosed with COVID 19.
Exposure is participation in protests and covid 19 getting is outcoe.
Design can be case report.  Already covid treatments would be in the hospitals.  So no of participants also would be in the list.   Hence observational case report design of study is good.
Benefits:
We need not search for data since already available data base Is there.
Reliable and trustworthy.
Need not get exposed to covid 19 while collecting data.
