casual inference
The following are guidelines for ___ _____: 1. STRENGTH OF ASSOCIATION: a strong association between a potential risk factor and an outcome supports a casual hypothesis (ex: a relative risk of 7 provides stronger evidence of a casual association than a relative risk of 1.5) 2. CONSISTENCY OF FINDINGS: repeated findings of an association with different study designs and in different populations strengthen a ___ ____. 3. BIOLOGICAL PLAUSIBILITY: demonstration of a physiological mechanism by which the risk factor acts to cause disease enhances the casual hypothesis. Conversely, an association that does not initially seem biologically defensible may later be discovered to be so 4. DEMONSTRATION OF CORRECT TEMPORAL SEQUENCE: for a risk factor to cause an outcome, it must precede the onset of the outcome 5. DOSE-RESPONSE RELATIONSHIP: the risk for developing an outcome should increase with increasing exposure (either in duration or quantity) to the risk factor of interest. For example, studies have shown that the more a woman smokes during pregnancy, the greater is the risk for delivering a low-weight infant 6. SPECIFICITY OF THE ASSOCIATION: the presence of one to one relationship between an agent and a disease (ex: the idea that a disease is caused by only one agent and that agent results in only one disease leads to support to a casual hypothesis but its absence does not rule out causality). This criterion grows out of the infectious disease model in which it is more often though not always satisfied and is less applicable in chronic diseases. 7. EXPERIMENTAL EVIDENCE: experimental designs provide the strongest epidemiological evidence for casual associations but they are not feasible or ethical to conduct for many risk factor disease associations
