Abstract
A simple technique, developed in Phillips (1987) is used to approximate the covariance of the Mantel-Haenszel estimate of the log-odds-ratio (for a 2 x 2 x K table) and the sample marginal proportions. These results are then applied to obtain an approximate variance estimate of an adjusted risk difference based on the Mantel-Haenszel odds-ratio estimator. (16pp.)
