Suppоse а teаm оf reseаrchers cоnducted a retrospective cohort study on the effect of childhood adverse events on obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD, which is a type of anxiety disorder) among adults aged 18-25. For their study, the researchers randomly selected a sample of 2,000 adults aged 18-25 living in the United States. The researchers found a risk ratio of 2.32 indicating that individuals who experienced adverse childhood events had a 2.32 times higher risk of developing OCD compared to individuals who did not experience any adverse childhood events. The researchers wonder to what extent the finding from their study is valid for adults aged 18-25 living in Canada. What is the type of validity are the researchers wondering about?
