Description

More information will follow soon.

This course is intended to supplement the training in causal inference received by students in CK010: Study Design and ESP48: Causal Inference. A student taking all 3 of these courses will have seen all important topics in causal inference. The course will also be taught in a way that emphasizes causal thinking instead of just teaching concepts in causal inference. Causal thinking will be evaluated using a short report involving causal triangulation which will require application and analysis of all the concepts taught in Study Design and in this course.
