Re: Re: Source of cancer data
Ruth,
In a case control study, the control of confounding such as smking
rate and duration is performed at the level of the individual. The
interviewer asks each respondent about thir smoking history. I used
smoking as an example, but it also relates to other data that is
collected. In the ecologic study, Cohen used sales tax to infer
smoking rates for the county.
