Acetaminophen During Pregnancy and Autism: What Does Causal Inference Take?

CAUSALab is thrilled to invite you to the 20th Kolokotrones Symposium at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health!

“Acetaminophen During Pregnancy and Autism: What Does Causal Inference Take?" features four expert talks and a panel discussion.

NOTE: In-person attendance is limited to Harvard ID holders due to space restrictions. Online attendance is free and open to the public. Limited spots are available, so please register now to reserve your spot.

The symposium will provide an introduction to the epidemiology of autism, present what is currently known about the association of acetaminophen use during pregnancy and autism, describe possible explanations for this association, and explore the challenges and opportunities to design better studies to estimate the causal effect. The symposium will conclude with an expert panel that will consider the question: where do we go from here?
