Explanation provided to me: The best study for determining causal relationship in low prevalence is case-control study!

hahaha.
ok.
case control and cohort are the studies done to determine causaulity. the are the ones which look for all the factors in causality detrmination like
temporal precedence, constant conjunction, concomitant variation etc. they also have a strong point that they involve large populations. case study cannot determine causality.

Well here low prevalence means a rare disease in the community.Hence case control is a better
option than cohort study in monetary terms.
