Presented by: Bianca De Stavola and Rhian Daniel Date: Friday 03 June 2016 (one day course) Level: Professional Location: Royal Statistical Society, 12 Errol Street, London EC1Y 8LX The aim of 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. In this workshop we will present and compare these two frameworks and stress the greater rigour and generality permitted by the potential outcomes framework. Topics covered: Ø Counterfactuals Ø DAGs Ø Traditional and Causal Mediation Analysis Target Audience: Ø Epidemiologists Ø Medical statisticians Ø Social scientists Ø Anyone interested in gaining awareness of issues arising in mediation analysis For more information on any of our upcoming 2016 courses or to register for this course please download the booking form from our website<http://www.rss.org.uk/RSS/Training/Public_courses/RSS/pro_dev/RSS_training_courses_sub/Our_courses.aspx?hkey=80752d6b-205c-4865-8068-ab827079ced2> Please don't hesitate to contact me on training<mailto:[log in to unmask]> if you have any questions.
