Portuguese term or phrase: estudo prospectivo caso-controle cruzado
" estudo prospectivo caso-controle cruzado. O protocolo de pesquisa foi aprovado pela Comissão de Ética ..."
I know what "case control studies" are, but I am having a hard time wiht "prospectivo" and " cruzado" as I thought case control studies could only be retrospective.
I am right?
Any help appreciated!

Crossover study: A crossover study (also referred to as a crossover trial) is a longitudinal study in which subjects receive a sequence of different treatments (or exposures). While crossover studies can be observational studies, many important crossover studies are controlled experiments, which are discussed in this article. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossover_study
