Suppоse а teаm оf reseаrchers investigated the effect оf drinking caffeinated beverages (i.e., yes versus no) on migraines among American women aged 18-40. The researchers hypothesized that pregnancy might be a confounder of this effect, as women who are pregnant are less likely to drink caffeinated beverages, and pregnancy increases the risk of migraines. To minimize confounding by pregnancy, the researchers performed stratified analyses. The results from these stratified analyses are reported in Table 1.   Table 1. Stratified effect estimates from the hypothetical study on caffeine intake and migraines.   Estimates for the subsample of pregnant women Estimates for the subsample women who are not pregnant Risk difference 0.05 0.05 Risk ratio 1.50 2.00   Instead of reporting the stratified results, the researchers would like to report one risk difference estimate and one risk ratio estimate that are representative of the complete population from which they sampled individuals. Initially, the researchers used Mantel-Haenszel methods to recombine the stratified effect estimates reported in Table 1. However, when they submitted their manuscript to a journal, a peer reviewer pointed out that it is not appropriate to report a Mantel-Haenszel risk ratio for this study. Why is it not appropriate to report a Mantel-Haenszel risk ratio in this study? (max. 3 points) What alternative method can the researchers use to report one overall confounder-adjusted risk ratio for this study? (2 points)
