Introduction to Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) for Causal Inference Training
Start Date: 2/26/2020Start Time: 10:00 AM
End Date: 2/26/2020End Time: 12:00 PM

Event Description
The Dornsife School of Public Health's Urban Health Collaborative and Research Office present this training that provides an introduction to DAG.
DAGs are diagrams used to represent causal questions. They serve as a visual aid to summarize assumptions about causal and non-causal associations between a given exposure and an outcome. DAGs are used to identify variables that must be measured and controlled for in order to obtain unconfounded effect estimates.

At the end of the training session, participants should be able to:
  • Recognize the essential elements of a DAG
  • Identify a collider variable
  • Use d-separation criteria to condition models on a set of adequate confounders
  • Draw a DAG and identify a minimal sufficient adjustment set of confounders using DAGitty interactive tool
Instructors:
Pricila Mullachery, PhD, MPH, postdoctoral research fellow, Urban Health Collaborative; and Ione Avila-Palencia, PhD, MPH, postdoctoral research fellow, Urban Health Collaborative.
