Recently, there was an extensive discussion about how to analyze data involving marijuana use and heart attacks. I just came across an interesting study that shows how to do a rigorous analysis in a very similar situation, the risk of heart attacks after sex. The actual paper appears in JAMA, but there is an excellent summary of it on the Bandolier web site: http://www.jr2.ox.ac.uk/bandolier/band30/b30-2.html This is a fun teaching example.
