• What is Relative Risk?
• What is a P value?

The Relative Risk tells us how many more times likely an event will occur in the intervention or exposure group (EGO) relative to the control group (CGO).

RR= EGO/CGO

The P value can usually be seen in the Results table within an article and refers to the probability that any particular outcome could have been due to chance. Look at the P value. If it is less than 0.05 it is statistically significant (acceptable).
