When
10 – 11 a.m., Feb. 25, 2026
Where
This seminar from CAFE’s Data Management team will discuss two methodological challenges in environmental epidemiology: spatial confounding and interference. If left unaddressed, spatial confounding and interference can bias effect estimates and lead to invalid confidence intervals. Drawing on recent work, the session will introduce easy-to-implement models for addressing these challenges and present a case study demonstrating their application in practice.
