Location: Public Health Building (pending), National Taiwan University College of Public Health, No. 17 Xuzhou Road, Zhongzheng District 100, Taipei City

Workshop Info:
Causal inference from observational data can be conceptualized as an attempt to emulate a pragmatic randomized trial—the target trial. This workshop will introduce the target trial framework, using specific examples to illustrate the principles of the target trial emulation. Through lectures and a hands-on session, participants will learn how to implement this framework and avoid common design bias when using observational data to answer a causal question.   
 
Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:  
● Formulate well-defined causal questions.  
● Emulate a target trial using observational data.  
● Recognize common but avoidable biases in observational analyses, including confounding, selection bias, and immortal time bias.
