Descibe random error
it happens by total chancem use a 99 percent conferdince interval

How do we asses causation in public health
by comparing disease occurance in gorups with and without exposure to the possible causal factor. The difference in numbers and rates give us clues as to the possible cause
7 of 29
Multifactorial Causation
When each affect has multiple causes and each causes has a multiple affect, for example the flu there are many causes and effect that can cause the flu
8 of 29
Synergy
When causes act together to produce a greater affect etc somking and asbestos can cause lung cancer

What is Bradfor hills criteria for Causation
Termporal, biological plausability, Dose and Reversibility

Temporal
(time) is the relationship between cause and effect
11 of 29
biological plausability
Does the association make common sense, based on what we know already
12 of 29
Dose
Response relationship ( as the dose of the casual agent goes up the effect should come bigger and vice versa)

Reversibility of the effect
If you remove the casual agent the effect should go away
