Скачать или смотреть Why Can't Observational Studies Prove Causation?

Ever wondered why some studies can only show correlation, not cause and effect? This video breaks down the fundamental limitations of observational studies when trying to prove causation. Discover why these studies, despite their value, can never definitively answer "why" something happens.

In this video, we explore the crucial distinction between correlation and causation in observational studies, highlighting key points such as:
► Observational studies identify relationships, but cannot confirm direct cause-and-effect.
► Confounding variables are a primary reason observational studies struggle with causation.
► Ethical or practical constraints often necessitate observational study designs.
► Experimental studies, with random assignment, are typically required to establish causation.
► Understanding these limitations is vital for interpreting scientific research accurately.
