Causal inference Question 3


A recent study reports an association between exposure to a chemical commonly used in pesticides and risk of breast cancer. A previous study, however, did not find an association between exposure to the chemical and risk of breast cancer. Do you think that the recent finding is spurious, i.e. not causal? Apply at least one causal framework in your response.
