"Most of us have heard the phrase “correlation does not equal causation”. But
understanding how scientists move beyond identifying correlations to establish
causation remains a mystery to many.
Finding out what causes a particular outcome is often the primary goal of
scientific research, especially in studies relating to our health.
We want to know if a certain factor – say, drinking wine or eating chocolate –
will lead to better or worse health outcomes. That way, we can make more
informed decisions about our health.
But how do scientists actually get those answers?"
