Four targets: an enhanced framework for guiding causal inference from observational data Int. J. Epidemiol. (IF 6.4) Pub Date : 2025-01-27 Haidong Lu, Fan Li, Catherine R Lesko, David S Fink, Kara E Rudolph, Michael O Harhay, Christopher T Rentsch, David A Fiellin, Gregg S Gonsalves
Observational studies play an increasingly important role in estimating causal effects of a treatment or an exposure, especially with the growing availability of routinely collected real-world data. To facilitate drawing causal inference from observational data, we introduce a conceptual framework centered around “four targets”—target estimand, target population, target trial, and target validity.
