Epidemiology Exposure to Disease Question

This week you were introduced to three complex theories that are used to advocate for a cause and effect relationship between exposures and diseases. These three models of cause and effect are:

? Hill’s Criteria for Causation

? Rothman’s Pie Model

? Web of Causation

Each of these models can be worked for a specific exposure and disease relationship to make an argument for a causal relationship. In this week’s discussion, you are going to select a specific cause and effect model and apply it to a disease of your choice. Please note that you will have to be specific. Remember, epidemiology is a quantitative discipline. If you are going to talk about strengths of association you are going to have to discuss the results sections of the articles that you are reading.
