Week+6+assignments

Here's the plan for Week #6. From JQ To break up the workload a bit, I'm alphabetically assigning one article to each student and asking you to present a few sentences about the article: variables, methods, outcome, possible confounders, answer the questions Peter posted on your article, say something about a table in the article, or whatever else seems important to you. There are 7 articles and we have (not counting Jan b/c I don't know if she'll be able to take part in the class), 7 students besides me so it works out fine. Your alphabetical assignments are as follows: Susan: Egede et al., 2003 Elizabeth: Krieger et al., 2005 Judy: Prentiss et al., 2005 Louisa: Petitti and Freedman, 2005 Connie: Huxley et al., 2002 Kaori: Davies et al., 2006 Jill: Smith et al., 1997 If someone would like to volunteer to present their summarization of the Davey-Smith and Ebrahim article on Mendelian Randomization, please let me know. Otherwise, Peter present on this topic. Any questions, please let me know. Will post my substantive statment on Sunday.
