Join Dr. Cristina Longo and Dr. Albina Tskhay on September 29^th from 3:00-4:30 PM ET to learn about advances in causal inference methods applied to real world evidence by registering here: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/G67fdUEkfw

This webinar will introduce respiratory health clinicians and researchers to the foundations of causal inference, including the potential outcomes framework, the four identifiability assumptions (consistency, exchangeability, positivity, and no interference), and directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) as practical tools for identifying confounding, selection bias, and guiding analytic decisions in observational respiratory health research.

Any questions can be directed to shAIRe@dal.ca. Details on the webinar can also be found on https://data4lunghealth.ca/en/for-researchers/data-resources/.

The Canadian Respiratory Research Network (CRRN), in close partnership with the Canadian Lung Association, the CIHR, and other partners, will improve patient care and outcomes for patients with chronic respiratory disease.

We will do this through creation of an enduring national network of investigators and research platforms to enable innovative, collaborative, respiratory health research that influences decision making and ensures high quality training and career development of a new generation of investigators.

Mission: The goals of the network are to bring together researchers across disciplines and research themes/pillars to work together in a coordinated fashion in order to improve understanding of the origins and progression of chronic airway diseases in Canada.
