Which covariates to adjust for: An introduction to causal directed acyclic graphs

Graduate School of Health Sciences at Aarhus University

The course aims to provide participants with an introduction to the use of directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) as a tool to control for confounding and other sources of bias. Moreover, the course will include a simple method to reason about the directions of potential biases. After the course, participants will be able to use DAGs as a practical tool in their own research.
