A study entitled "Antidepressant Medication and Breast Cancer Risk" (Amer. J. of Epi, late 1990's) stated in the methods section of the paper that "Cases were an age-stratified (< 50 and ≥ 50 years of age) random sample of women aged 25-74 years diagnosed with primary breast cancer during 1995 and 1996 (pathology report confirmed) and recorded in the population-based Ontario Cancer Registry. As the 1-year survival for breast cancer is 90%, surrogate respondents were not used. Population controls, aged 25-74 years, were randomly sampled from the property assessment rolls of the Ontario Ministry of Finance; this database includes all home owners and tenants and lists age, sex, and address."
Question: Discuss the authors' approach to the identification of cases with respect to the potential for selection bias.
