GCCCD Table Shells for Final Project

ASSIGNMENT 4: Table Shells for Final Project Step 1: Construct a table shell for Table 1, which will describe your analytic sample and compare your selected covariates (rows) by levels of your exposure variable (columns). Specify the summary statistics you will report for each variable (e.g., mean/median, column percentage). Step 2: Construct a table shell for Table 2, which will compare levels of your selected exposure (rows) by levels of your outcome variable (columns) and report your primary results. Step 3: Describe the statistical approach you will use to measure the association between your exposure and outcome variable. Step 4: What are the data management steps that you anticipate needing to do in order to fill your table shell? For example, Do you need to recode a variable with continuous data into a variable with categorical data (e.g. split continuous age into five-year groupings)? Do you need to collapse response options for categorical variables where cells sizes are sparse or uninformative for your question (e.g. collapse 5level education variable into a binary variable where 1 = at least high school graduate / GED education)?
