  "abstract": "Loux and Wankum ask whether race has confounders.1 Without a clearly articulated research question, however, it is not possible to know which variables are confounders or even if adjustment for confounding is necessary. Table 1 outlines three distinct research questions that the authors appear to be contending with, each requiring different adjustment sets (table 1).",
