Discussion Questions
Carefully consider the following questions. Write down your answers (1 - 2 paragraphs) for question # 1 within a word document and submit your answers to your seminar leader. Be prepared to discuss all questions during the seminar section.
- What would you have done to improve the design of this retrospective cohort study? Propose a new study using a prospective design to investigate the relationship between SUPERCLEAN and Susser Syndrome.
- Why do we need to look at the differences in age distribution of risks in the cohort and how should we interpret our findings?
- Do you think the results of this cohort study are suggestive or conclusive about the effect of the SUPERCLEAN on Susser Syndrome? Is there a need to conduct further studies?
