Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Family history of colon cancer can be deconstructed into causal and noncausal explanations, which include genetic factors, environmental factors, gene-environment interactions, misclassification, and differences in screening. METHODS: We investigated some of these causal and noncausal explanations by using data from a case-control study of colon cancer conducted among African Americans and whites in...
