hi @timdisher - fyi the link to the Norton, Dowd, and Maciejewksi paper you included is routed thru your university portal so won’t work for those without an account there 🙂

You might find this interesting - although it is a bit over my head, I know Anders addresses problems with OR’s in his work: [Effect modification and choice of effect measure](https://discourse.datamethods.org/t/effect-modification-and-choice-of-effect-measure/319)
