Suppоse а reseаrcher cоnducted а crоss-sectional study on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and externalizing behaviors (e.g., rule-breaking or defiant behavior) among adolescents in Hillsborough County. During the summer months, the researcher works as a volunteer at a summer education program for adolescents who struggle with their schoolwork. Since the participants of the summer education program are adolescents, the researcher decides to invite the adolescents who attend the summer program for participation in the study. The researcher is worried that there might be selection bias in the estimate of the effect of ADHD on externalizing behaviors because ADHD and externalizing behaviors are both reasons for participation in the summer program and are therefore also both affect participation. To assess potential selection bias, the researcher draws the directed acyclic graph (DAG) in Figure 2. Based on the DAG in figure 2, a fellow researcher comments that the researcher does not have to be worried about selection bias. According to the fellow researcher, study participation is a collider, and the researcher has not adjusted for study participation in the analyses. Is the fellow researcher correct (yes/no)? (2 points) Explain why you think the fellow researcher is/is not correct (max. 4 points).
