Ricardo,

This might help you - free on BMJ website. Gives the calculations for comparing two estimated relative risks.

Thank you Philip. Unfortunately all I have is the RR
and the corresponding SE. I was thinking that some
method out of the Meta-analysis literature could be
used.

One way might be to write out two separate models
(eg logistic or
log-binomial, depending on your research design) and
then use -suest- to
test for equality of the coefficients of the
suitably parameterised
exposures.  For example, as a very general case
where both the exposures
and the outcomes are different (and the sense is
rather open to question!)

is the RR for lung cancer among smokers (vs
non-smokers) different from the
RR of heart disease among males (vs females):

glm lung smoker, link(log) fam(binomial) score(s1)
est store A
glm heart sex, link(log) fam(binomial) score(s2)
est store B
suest A B
test [A_lung]smoker = [B_heart]sex

Dear all,

Is there a way in Stata to compare if two relative
risks are equal, or alternatively if the ratio of
two
relative risks (RRR) is equal to one?

Thank you in advance,
Ricardo.
