A case-control study is designed to help determine if an exposure isassociated with an outcome. However, since case-control studies areretrospective, they are often subject to recall bias. Recall bias can occurwhen study subjects do not remember previous events accurately. In this paper,we first define the estimand of interest: the causal odds ratio (COR) for acase-control study. Second, we develop estimation approaches for the COR andpresent estimates as a function of recall bias. Third, we define a new quantitycalled the \textit{R-factor}, which denotes the minimal amount of recall biasthat leads to altering the initial conclusion. We show that a failure toaccount for recall bias can significantly bias estimation of the COR. Finally,we apply the proposed framework to a case-control study of the causal effect ofchildhood physical abuse on adulthood mental health.
