Conceptually I would agree but my concern lies more with the fact that these
variables are dichotomies and experience has shown that testing these for
multicollinearity is difficult at best.

Can you share a sample of your data for me to do some "hands on?" If you
want to converse directly do contact me.

Thank you Jason and Will for your prompt answers.


Sorry, i did not explain my variables well. I am trying to see which factors
increase the risk of having a child with birth defects (1-yes (case), 2-no
(control). I have lots of independent variables and the one i am afraid
there is multicollinearity is fathers spanish origin (1-yes, 0-no). with
mother's spanish origin (1-yes, 0-no).

Thank you !

Love.
