Introduction to Biostatistics, Assignment 3: STROBE Analysis

This assignment solution critically appraises the statistical material presented in the research article "Long work hours, weekend working and depressive symptoms in men and women: findings from a UK population-based study" by Weston et al. (2019) against items 10, 12-17 of the STROBE (Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology) checklist. The analysis evaluates the study's adherence to STROBE guidelines regarding sample size, statistical methods, study design, and reporting of results. The solution also includes an analysis of self-reported working hours in Sydney, employing linear regression to assess differences between males and females, and concludes with a summary of the findings and relevant references.
