Thank for your explaining this with minimal jargon, while defining the jargon <3

This is the most essential and revealing discussion of statistics. Everything else is noise. The bottom: use relative risk when you are trying to "sell something." Anything. Products, drugs or statistical results. Real risk will never be quoted. This simple notion never seems to get any traction.

Hazard ratios like relative risk is used to "sell you something." A product, a drug or a scientific result. In your example, the real absolute risk reduction was 1%. That was the bottom line. that needed the most emphasis.

Thank you very much!

thank you sir

odds of being depressed 420%

lovely!

Brilliant. Thank you!

Thanks 🎉 professor

Thanks Professor

This is so helpful! Thank you! My work involves communicating studies such as this one to the public. I always have a hard time communicating hazard ratios accurately. This helps a lot!

Excellent.

SEM PLS os for correlation right? Not for causation

I made a post discussing Hazard Ratio giving an example of smoking, but it seems to have disappeared. WHY?

Great explanation

Ya, this was notably abused in how the msm and vaccine companies communicated the efficacy and how long the claimed immunity against Covid would last for All of which has now been incontrovertibly proven to have been massive lies

excellent explanation!

Crystal clear sir.Thank you so much sir

Good

This was a wonderful video! I'm studying socioeconomics in Germany, and you really helped me out! Thanks for your impeckable work

Perhaps there is a relation between the reason for use, I'm guessing that maybe people who suffer from depression are more likely to use cannabis as a means to deal with the disease burden...🤔

Best explanation ever for the Hazard ratio

Excellent work.

04:00 "You cannot claim a causal relationship." Ohoho! A LOT of people who use adjusted epidemiology to make causal claims are NOT going to like this!

Thank you for the clarity you bring to these terms.

Great video

Thank you! I appreciate you going over this.

Thank you so much Mr. David. This one helped a lot to comprehend the difference and the importance of communicating the same in a specified manner. Really helpful 🙏

I binge watched about ten of these

this is so clear, thanks from a yank

Can you ple explain and compare the RR and OR together, I actually can differentiate between them in meaning 😢.

I loved it !

Helpful...thankyou

Isn't there an imbalance between the two groups since there are only 200ish in the depressed group and nearly 2500 in the non-depressed group? Is this why the odds ratio in the actual paper is adjusted?

From the way this guy talks I trust him as a teacher

Such a great explanation, reminds me of my 1st year uni Maths teacher - wonderful. thanks Prof.

2:03 "18% of WHAT?" 2:50 "expected frequencies: what it means for 100 people" (absolute risk, AR). This is the perfect video! Thankyou!

Thank you❤❤

Unless I'm not understanding this correctly, one fewer death per 100 in a country the size of the US would amount to 3 million fewer deaths over 10 years. That seems pretty significant to me.

Brilliant explanation.

Thank you very much for clear and awesome videos

That is good to know.

This explanation is by far the best. (if you ask me) Thank you!

You solidify my belief in the published stats that it is all misleading and bonkers

Thank you for this channel!

Nice. Subscribed

Is Absolute risk the same as Attributable risk? In the First Aid textbook for the USMLE step one exam they only mentioned Attributable risk and Absolute risk reduction but there is no Absolute risk, thank you

Some breast cancers would still have happened despite HRT as some are entirely hormone negative.

Great examples!
