Case control studies are studies in which patients who already have a certain condition are compared with people who do not.

For example: a study on which lung cancer patients are asked how much they smoked in the past and the answers are compared with a sample of the general population would be a case control study.

A cross-sectional study is a study in which disease and exposure status are measured simultaneously in a given population. Cross-sectional studies can be thought of as providing a "snapshot" of the frequency and characteristics of a disease in a population at a particular point in time.
