Information for Question 1 and 2: The National Health Interview Survey is an annual national health survey of people living in about 35,000 randomly selected households in the United States. On the basis of the data collected in the 2006 survey, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that 15.7% of boys and 11.2% of girls under the age of 18 had at some time been diagnosed with asthma. Question #1: find (i) the relative risk of ever having asthma for girls compared to boys, and (ii) percent increase in risk for girls compared to boys. (Hint: consider the group of boys as the baseline). a. (i) relative risk = 1.301, (ii) percent increase = 11.66% b. (i) relative risk = 0.734, (ii) percent increase = -11.66% c. (i) relative risk = d. (i) relative risk = 0.713, (ii) percent increase = -28.66% 0.813, (ii) percent increase = 18.66% QUESTION 2 Question #2: find (i) the odds of ever having asthma for boys, (ii) the odds of ever having asthma for girls, and (iii) the odds ratio of comparing the odds of ever having asthma for girls compared to boys. a. (i) Odds for boys: 0.164, (ii) Odds for girls: 0.114, (iii) Odds ratio: 1.438. b. (i) Odds for boys: 0.114, (ii) Odds for girls: 0.164, (iii) Odds ratio: 1.395. c. (i) Odds for boys: 0.186, (ii) Odds for girls: 0.126, (iii) Odds ratio: 0.677. d. (i) Odds for boys: 0.171, (ii) Odds for girls: 0.133, (iii) Odds ratio: 0.778.
