Congratulations to our most recent Mnemonics winner, Samilia Ekeocha from University of Warwick, withSome Scientists Caution That Every Disease Can't Really Be Causally Associated (Bradford Hill Criteria for inferring Causality:
Strength of Association,
Specificity of Association,
Consistency of Association,
Temporal Sequence,
Experimental Evidence,
Dose-Response (biological gradient),
Reversibility,
Coherence of Theory,
Biological Plausibility,
Consider Alternative Explanations,
Analogy). |
