Berlin Epidemiological Methods Colloquium (BEMC): February meeting

This month we have invited Jay Kaufman from McGill University, Montreal, Canada to give a talk titled "The Ethics of Adjustment"

It is well-known that the conceptual basis for confounding adjustment in observational epidemiology is to mimic a randomized trial, but this does not provide a framework for descriptive studies. In particular, a major surveillance function of public health is the monitoring of social disparities, but the choice of covariate adjustments for such comparisons is not settled in the literature. This talk will propose a framework for such decisions.
