Question

Sample A study in South Africa focusing on the impact
of health insurance identified 1590 children at birth and
then sought to conduct follow-up health studies 5 years
later. Only 416 of the original group participated in the
5-year follow-up study. This made researchers concerned
that the follow-up group might not accurately resemble
the total group in terms of health insurance. The table in the
next column summarizes the two groups by race and by
presence of medical insurance when the child was born.
Carefully explain how this study demonstrates Simpson’s
paradox. (Birth to Ten Study, Medical Research Council,
South Africa)
