A relative risk (RR) reported in a journal article is 1.8. This means that those in control group are less likely to have outcome being studied than those in the experimental group.
True
False
Homework Answers
False because relative risk of 1.8 means they have increased chances to have outcome (80% more chances) if this ratio is less than one like. 6 then they have less chances but here it is more than one so, they have more chances.

What does a relative risk (RR) represent (The fraction in the slides-which group is the numerator and which group is the denominator). Remember a RR or OR(odds ratio) compares the risk of disease in those exposed to the risk of disease in those unexposed. What does it generally mean when you have a RR=1, RR<1or a RR>1

Relative risk (RR) is a statistical term used to describe the risk of a certain event happening in one group versus another. It is commonly used in epidemiology and evidence based medicine. For example smoking is found to be a cause for cancer. The formula for calculating the risk of cancer for smoking cigarettes is RR= (__A___) / (__C____) where A=number of people who smoke and also have cancer, B=number of smokers not having cancer, C=number of people who did...

1. (True or False) The relative risk (RR) is useful in planning health program while the attributable risk (AR) is useful in etiologic study of the disease. 2, (True or False) To avoid the selection bias in a case-control study, cases and controls should be selected independently of exposure status. 3. In a case-control study, which of the following is NOT an advantage of using hospital controls? a)They are easily identified. b)Their recall is likely better c)They tend to be...

Multiple Question: 12. The relative risk for dying from lung cancer among smokers is 10. The relative risk for dying from heart disease among smokers is 1.5. The etiologic fraction for lung cancer due to smoking is 0.8 and the etiologic fraction for heart disease due to smoking is 0.2. Based on these finding, we can say that Smoking seems much more likely to be causally related to heart disease than to lung cancer. Smoking seems much more likely to...

6. (3 pts) A randomized clinical trial was conducted in Indonesia to study the effects of Vitamin A in preventing deaths among children with measles. The investigators reported a relative risk of 0.60 for the intervention versus control group. This means that A) Children receiving Vitamin A were 40% less likely to die from measles than children receiving placebo, therefore Vitamin A was protective B) The chance of dying from measles in the placebo group was 60% C) 60% of...
