Description Usage Format Source References Examples
An observational study of light daily alcohol consumption (1-3 drinks per day) versus little or no alcohol, and its possible effects on HDL cholesterol levels. The level of methylmercury is viewed as an unaffected outcome and used to test for biased treatment assignment. Data is from NHANES 2013/2014 and 2015/2016.
