Developing the analytical approach

The design (way the data were collected) will inform the analytical approach. If the data were collected using a case-control study design then you should be planning to do 2x2 tables with odds ratios and possibly logistic regression to analyse the data. If the data were collected using a cross-sectional or cohort study design then you may be able to use 2x2 tables with relative risk measures and possibly other types of advanced analyses.
