Clearly, such data limit causal inferences, although given the temporal sequence of childhood/adolescent sexual abuse and adult sexual behavior, the limits may be less concerning in this context.
Associations examined are cross-sectional and therefore limit causal inference.
Third, we used a cross-sectional survey, which may limit our ability to identify causal relationships between work stress and motivation and job satisfaction.
Here, we have much higher density; however, because of the large proportion of imputed genotypes, rapid LD decay and weak LD between GBS-derived markers and causal loci may limit overall prediction accuracy and the ability for each of the models to show differences.
If the noted associations are causal, more focus on comorbid condition, physical activity, and use of tobacco and tranquilizers may limit the development of MOH.
Such forces may limit creative investigation.
This may limit the conclusions one can make, because it is possible that perception of a traumatic experience may contribute to long-term PTSD symptomology, hence making a causal conclusion impossible.
This study has several limitations, including a cross-sectional observational study design that was limited to patients' treated in the VHA in FY2010, which limits causal interpretation of findings and may not generalize to earlier or later years.
Further, few studies utilized either longitudinal or experimental designs, thus limiting causal conclusions.
Most studies evaluating effects of cannabis use in young adults are cross-sectional, limiting causal inference.
