What is Understanding Effect Modification in Health about?
Effect modification occurs when the relationship between an exposure and an outcome varies across levels of a third variable, known as the effect modifier. In the case of smoking and lung cancer, asbestos exposure increases the risk of lung cancer for smokers, demonstrating that asbestos modifies the effect of smoking. This distinction is important as effect modification is a natural phenomenon, unlike confounding which is a bias to be controlled.
