Dear Maarten
To clarify.. the hypothesis is duration of AIDS medication increases
the probability of the patient returning to work, with positive
externalities on non-patient family members, who now shift from caring
for the patient to work.
So the duration of the AIDS medication taken by the patient is the
time variable, and getting employed/returning to work is the event
Is there any way possible or running cox regressions for the
non-patient family members too?
