Observation and Comment

Steven A Kritz   (27 July 2006)

Observation and Comment 27 July 2006
Steven A Kritz, MD; Medical Administrator Personal communication Send letter to journal: Re: Observation and Comment kritz{at}ny.freei.net Steven A Kritz	In the article by Whetten, et. al. in the June issue, I noted that in Table 1, the odds ratio for sexual and/or physical abuse was statistically highest for the group labelled 'Not heterosexual'. I was struck by the fact that this was not mentioned at all in the 'Discussion' section, while mentioning other factors that were not nearly as statistically significant. Coincidently, in this same June issue, Saewyc comments on this matter, and provides several references.
