"Am I ever sorry I caught the news last night right before going to bed! They reported on this study that just came out, saying that ballet dancers are at some super-high risk for
fractures! I couldn't sleep, thinking about it, and then today in dance class every move I
made was freaking me out about breaking my ankle. I can't go on being afraid like this!"
What information should Liz find out about the fracture study to evaluate its merits?
Identify at least two factors she should evaluate. Let's say that her investigation of these
factors leads her to conclude that the study is trustworthy: what else should she keep in
mind about the research process that might help her take a more balanced perspective
when thinking about this single study?
