- TL;DR Summary
- Does this count as a selection bias, or is it not a issue?
There have been many studies done to find out if cell phones cause infertility. Most have found that there is a positive connection between phone use and infertility. However, most studies are done at fertility clinics and their study population is fertility patients. My question is, does the fact that the study population is fertility patients create a selection bias? Or, is the study still valid as even though the population is already experiencing fertility problems, it is still a level playing field as people who use phones the most are 'more infertile' than others?
I am not very farmiliar with what would count as a bias and would appritaiate some input and advice on what others think about the possible selection bias.
