Hi Lee,
You have made very important points. May I have your permission to forward
this to our of my colleagues, as she has an interest in definitions and
stats?
I realize it is difficult to design and implement a study with enough power
to ascertain the extent of the practice described - of women applying for
WIC food stamps claiming to be exclusively breastfeeding, and then going out
and using the food stamps to buy artificial infant milk. Does anyone have
such a study planned?
When statistics look too good to be true, this is often the case.
