A causal diagram is a graphical tool that enables the visualisation of causal relationships between variables in a causal model. A casual diagram allows you to summarise and communicate assumptions about the causal structure of a problem.
The [course_title] course teaches the theory of causal diagrams and illustrates its applications to causal inference. Then you will be studied a series of case studies that highlight the practical applications of causal diagrams to real-world questions from the health and social sciences.
