Question

Which of the following ancillary or supportive criteria is addressed in this statement: Infants who are put to bed prone less than half the time have an increased incidence of SIDS compared to those who are never put to bed prone. Those who are always put to bed prone have an increased incidence of SIDS compared to those who are put to bed prone less than half the time.
A. Consistency.
B. Biological plausibility.
C. Strength of the association.
D. Dose-response relationship.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is D- Dose-response relationship

Explanation:

A dose-response relationship is an association between dose and incidence in which an increasing level of exposure will either lead to an increase or decrease of an incident or outcome. For instance, in the scenario given the dose or exposure will be the time the infants are put to bed prone while the response is the level of incidence of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome).
