Question #3
For this weeks reading, I thought that the section titled Cause and Effect in Population was really interesting. I liked how it gave three different types of this along with a definition and examples. The book did a really good job at explain what each one was and made it really simple and easy to follow what the book was talking about. I liked how they broke down each section discussing a control group, cause-to-effect, and also effect-to-cause. The book really makes the differences between the three topics clear and easy to understand. The examples they used to better explain the definitions were really easy to follow and made me get to know what they actually meant. I think that for this particular topic and section in the book, the author did a great job at having the reading be light as easily understandable compared to some of the previous reading we had had in the past.

I thought that this section was also interesting. It initially caught my attention because of it started with “Smoking causes lung cancer.” I agree that it was a very organized section. They broke it down pretty well with the three different groups. It was one of the easier topics to understand in the book because of the way it was written and organize. I also agree about the examples being really good examples. I liked how they used smoking examples and also the example that addresses drinking while being pregnant. I did a report on fetal alcohol syndrome and I know that a lot of people think that there is nothing wrong with drinking when pregnant.
