Wiley StatsRef: Statistics Reference Online, 2014

By taking a cross section of a population, researchers avoid the disadvantages of longitudinal research, specifically loss of subjects over time. Keywords: cross-sectional design; longitudinal study; descriptive research; developmental study; cohort; cohort effect
