About the lecture:
Co-sponsored by the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, this Grand Rounds lecture featuring Dr. M. Maria Glymour will address how to systematically approach evidence triangulation. The premise of evidence triangulation is integrating complementary data sources and study designs to more rigorously evaluate causal claims. It is especially relevant in research on prevention of dementia because of the difficulty of randomized trials and the numerous sources of bias. This talk will give examples based on instrumental variables methods, including Mendelian Randomization.
