Researchers want to explore the association between selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) use and pulmonary tuberculosis. A random sample of subjects age 20-84 with newly diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis and an independent random sample of subjects without pulmonary tuberculosis are enrolled in the study. Subsequently, subjects who never had a prescription for an SSRI are defined as "never users," and those who have had a prescription for an SSRI are defined as "users." The study compares the frequency of SSRI use in subjects with and without a diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis and determines that SSRI use is not associated with pulmonary tuberculosis. Which of the following best describes the design of this study?
