Answer: A relative risk is a ratio of probability of exposed group outcome to the probability of unexposed group outcome. If the relative risk is 1 then that means there is no difference between the groups whereas if the relative group is more than 1 that means their risk for developing that particular disease of group risk is higher than the other group.

Lung Cancer & Smoking Case Study A causal relationship between cigarette smoking and lung cancer was first suspected in the 1920s on the basis of clinical observations. To test this apparent association, numerous epidemiologic studies were undertaken between 1930 and 1960. Two studies were conducted by Richard Doll and Austin Bradford Hill in Great Britain The first was a case-control study begun in 1947 comparing the smoking habits of lung cancer patients with the smoking habits of other patients. The...

A study examined the association between lung cancer and working in an asbestos plant. Although the asbestos plant closed 10 years ago, researchers pulled past employment records to confirm employment. They divided the company employees into two groups: those directly exposed on the production line and those who worked in other areas of the plant, not directly working with asbestos. The researchers then looked at medical records to see if the exposed and unexposed groups were currently diagnosed with lung...

Dr. Johnson conducted a study to assess the effect of cigarette smoking on lung cancer. The study findings showed an association between cigarette smoking and lung cancer, with a reported odds ratio (OR)=1.0. What does this number (1.0) convey about the association between the two variables? (underlie the correct answer). A. non-smokers were more likely to have lung cancer than smokers B. non-smokers were less likely to have lung cancer than smokers C. smokers and non-smokers had an equal chance...

C. According to Bradford-Hill, there are 9 for judging whether an association is causal. They are: strength of association, consistency, temporality, biological gradient, coherence, experiment, analogy, plausibility, and specificity. Summarized below are evidence used by the Surgeon General's Advisory Committee on Smoking and Health to support the inference that cigarette smoking causes lung cancer. Indicate the criteria (or criterion) which is/are relevant for each statement. (1 point each) 1. A review of literature identified 29 case-control studies and 7 cohort...

A case-control study of lung cancer was conducted which compared the smoking habits of patients with lung cancer to the smoking habits of other patients attending the same respiratory clinic. The study found no association between smoking and lung cancer. What is the most likely study error that explains this scenario? Select one: Differential misclassification bias. Random measurement variability. Non-differential misclassification bias. Random sampling error. Selection bias.
