Description:

Many research areas may involve the study of how the effect of a particular exposure on the outcome of interest is mediated by intermediate factors. Although the study of mediation is well established in the social and behavioural sciences, and often loosely attempted in epidemiology, developments in modern causal inference have highlighted the limitations of these ‘classical’ approaches and led to new definitions based on counterfactuals and novel estimation methods that deal with specific challenges such as intermediate confounding. On this one day training course we will present and compare these two frameworks and stress the greater rigour and generality permitted by the potential outcomes framework.
