An introductory course on causal inference, run by the Pathways node of the ESRC National Centre for Research Methods.
12 June 2013, 1:00-5:00p.m.
Our aim is to introduce participants to the language and methods of 'modern' causal inference and discuss how these can be used to guide the analysis of data from observational studies. In particular, we will compare these more modern perspectives (based, for example, on causal diagrams) with traditional approaches (such as the 'epidemiological triangle') to defining and dealing with confounding.

The course is free and open to all, but you will need to book, as places are limited. We cannot allow entry without booking.
