U01.06.005 Quantifying risk Analyze the study design carefully. Start by identifying how participants were selected — note that cases were chosen based on disease status (neurological cancer) and controls were chosen based on being disease-free. Next, compare exposure rates (solvent exposure) between the two groups. This approach helps determine whether the exposure is associated with disease occurrence. Finally, recognize the type of epidemiological study and calculate the appropriate measure of association.
