The principal aim of this final workshop is to assess our current and future abilities to address cause-and-effect questions effectively, on the basis of the observational or quasi-experimental data likely to be available in the field of genetic and genomic epidemiology and medicine. However contributions need not necessarily be focused on the medical/genomic area. Among various themes, this workshop will feature a critical evaluation and comparison of general approaches to causal inference, graphical models, potential outcomes, structural equations, longitudinal analysis, instrumental variable approaches, mendelian randomization, graphical model based approaches to causal inference, causal inference in dynamic systems, in the analysis of longitudinal survival data, in the analysis of clinical trial data and in genetic epidemiology.
