Therapeutics Initiative Best Evidence Webinar Series

Please join us for the next TI Best Evidence Webinar on "Decreasing antibiotic use, the gut microbiota, and asthma incidence in children: evidence from population-based and prospective cohort studies".

Speaker:

Professor David Patrick is an Infectious Disease physician and Epidemiologist, Director of Research at the British Columbia Centre for Disease Control and Professor of Population and Public Health at UBC.

Learning objectives:

• Review what is known about the relationship between the developing immune system, the gut microbiota and childhood’s most prevalent chronic disease
• Understand the application of regression methods to exploring associations at population level
• Understand the application of analyses within a prospective cohort design to studying similar relationships at individual level
• Learn how study of the microbiota strengthens our understanding of the biological plausibility of an association between antibiotic use and atopic disease
• Discuss possible confounders and how they may be addressed methodologically
• Discuss approaches to further explore generalizability and causal implications of observed associations
