A city public health department reports the following findings over a five-year period.
|
|
|
|
A. Ice cream sales and drowning deaths rise and fall together, month over month (r = 0.86).
|
|
B. Neighborhoods that received a new protected bike lane saw a 22% drop in cyclist injuries.
|
|
C. Patients who received an experimental drug had higher mortality than patients who did not.
|
|
D. Schools that adopted a new reading curriculum saw test scores rise 8 points. The district credits the curriculum.
|
|
E. Hospitals with the best surgical outcomes are the ones that turn away the most complex cases.
|
|
F. The 20 neighborhoods with the highest crime rates last year all saw crime fall this year without any intervention.
|
|
|
|
For each finding:
|
|
1. Name the most plausible causal structure: direct cause, reverse causation, confounding, collider or selection effect, or regression to the mean.
|
|
2. Identify the specific lurking variable or mechanism.
|
|
3. State the single cheapest study design or additional data point that would distinguish your explanation from the naive one.
|
|
|
|
Then:
|
|
- For finding C, explain confounding by indication in plain language a hospital administrator would understand.
|
|
- For finding B, name the one selection effect that would most threaten the conclusion, and say what would rule it out.
|
|
- Two of these six share the same underlying structure. Which two, and what is the shared structure?
