Final Answer :
Trend studies measure the same items over time using the same questions but drawing different samples from the population each time. In panel studies, a group of individuals is sampled and recruited, and the same individuals are retained to answer questions over time. A cohort is a group of people defined, most typically, by having an event in common.
