Suppоse а grоup оf reseаrchers conducted а randomized controlled trial to determine if a safe sex intervention helped prevent chlamydia among college students. In total, 220 college students participated in the randomized controlled trial, of whom 106 were randomized to the intervention condition and 114 to the control condition. Participants in the intervention condition were offered an online educational module on safe sex practices. Participants in the control condition did not receive any specific resources on safe sex practices. After one year, the participants were asked to report if they had chlamydia at any point during follow-up. The data from this study are summarized in table 1. Table 1. Data from a hypothetical intervention aimed at preventing chlamydia among college students.

Suppоse а grоup оf reseаrchers аimed to determine if maternal infections during pregnancy could be a cause of cerebral palsy in American children. Cerebral palsy is a relatively rare disease, as about 3 children per 1,000 American children have cerebral palsy. The researchers decided to perform a case-control study with children aged 18 or younger and living in Hillsborough County as the population of interest. They included all children with cerebral palsy and a random sample of children without cerebral palsy. The researchers estimated an exposure odds ratio of 2.04. The researchers claim that their exposure odds ratio of 2.04 can be interpreted as an outcome risk ratio. Why can the exposure odds ratio be interpreted as an outcome risk ratio in this case? (max. 6 points).

Suppоse а grоup оf reseаrchers is interested in investigаting whether a new type of chemotherapy is safe for breast cancer patients who are pregnant. Initially the researchers plan to conduct a randomized controlled trial in which they randomly assign pregnant women to the intervention group, in which they receive the new chemotherapy, or to the control group, in which they receive usual care. Before the researchers start their randomized controlled trial, they submit their study protocol to the institutional review board. However, the institutional review board decides to disapprove the study and advises the researchers to change their study design into an observational study design. Why did the institutional review board disapprove this study? (max. 6 points).
