I am trying to find out association between risk and disease (education and reporting of NCD) of populations in three different areas (i.e. in spatial context).There are six population groups. Each pair of population group belong to a particular neighborhood and each pair itself is made up of two population groups; one from higher and one from lower.In some cases Relative Risk is greater than 1 (significant) indicating causation. What can be the probable explanations if the value is not significant?
A lower confidence interval for the RR >1 is needed to feel reasonably confident that there is a positive association. An upper confidence interval
It means that there is no causation. You have to trust your result :-)
RR>1 implies causation. I don't think if there is lack of significance I can rule out possible causation. I am just looking for a better way to explain with the level of significance
