effect of main exposure on outcome is modified by presence of other variable
effect modification- not a bias
effect modification vs confounding
effect modification is like only smokers have increased DVT but entire population does
confounding is like shoe size increasing sig. with intelligence- sig. gone with confounding factor of age
