What kind of study did the researchers apparently

Reference no: EM133403712

New research in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs has found that children who sip alcohol as youngsters have an increased likelihood of becoming drinkers by the time they reach high school. In a long-term study by Brown University of 561 students in Rhode Island, researchers found that those who had tried even small sips were a whopping five times more likely to have tried a whole beer or cocktail by the time they reached ninth grade, and four times more likely to have gotten rip-roaring drunk.

Help explain the following questions:

1. What are the main variables of this study?

2. What kind of study did the researchers apparently do-a correlational study or an experimental study? How do you know?

3. Can this study support the causal claim (seen in the headline) that sips of Chianti can morph your child into a teenage booze-guzzling ne'er do well? Name and apply the three causal criteria to this situation.
