Abstract: Abstract Selection bias concerns systematic error that may arise from the manner in which subjects are selected into one’s study. In his lesson, we describe examples of selection bias, provide a quantitative framework for assessing selection bias, show how selection bias can occur in different types of epidemiologic study designs, and discuss how to adjust for or otherwise deal with selection bias.
