Approaches to mediation analysis in causal inference
(2021) In Svepet 39(4). p.13-15- Abstract
- This article provides an overview of the role mediation analyses play in causal inference
methodology and in the estimation of the effect an exposure may have on an outcome through
direct and indirect pathways. We discuss traditional approaches to mediation and where these
may lead to bias, before discussing more advanced methods that can be used to overcome these
biases in situations with single and multiple mediators. We discuss these methods in the context
of a practical example
