This course introduces some of the most popular tools from causal inference and gives practical explanations about how to apply these methods to real research questions. The course will cover potential outcomes, target trial emulation, propensity score-based methods, instrumental variable analysis, and mediation analysis. Each approach will be explained within the causal inference framework, along with the recommended sensitivity analyses, to assess the plausibility of the results.
Pre-requisites: familiarity with linear/logistic regression and Stats or R. You must bring your own laptop with either Stata or R. This course has a fee of 800 GBP (some concessions will be available).
