& self-evident (few early supporters grow to enter the mainstream of knowledge) = probability of event when exposed / probability of event when non-exposed group. Ability to compare the risks of exposure vs. non-exposure. Shows how many times an outcome is developed in an exposed group relative to a. Rr = 1 = no risk if outcome (no significant difference) Rr > 1 = increased risk of outcome. Rr < 1 decreased risk of outcome. Protects academic freedom, unpopular research is protected/support by. Research = finding solutions to problems in a logical, orderly & systematic manner. Professional responsibilities = must be current research/solutions to ongoing faculty for faculty members problems and we should all be consumers of research.
